Answer:
3 * (½*2*5) = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of carpeting = $3 per square foot
We have a triangular section to cover having the following dimensions:
base = 2 yd
height = 5 yd
First, let's find the area of the section = area of triangle
Area of triangle = ½*base*height
Area of the triangular section of the floor = ½*2*5
If $3 will cover 1 ft², therefore,
x will cover ½*2*5
Thus:
3 * (½*2*5) = x
