Question

a triangular sail has a base of 5m and a height of 10 m if the canvas costs 18 dollars a square meter, find the cost of canvas to make a sail

Answer 1

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the area of the triangular sail.

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

Substitute the given lengths into the equation:

$A=\frac{1}{2}*5*10\\A=5*5\\A=25m^2$

Now, multiply this by 18 dollars per square meter.

$25m^2(\frac{18}{1m^2})=25*18=450$
