Answer 1

Answer:

Design 1: $449.45

Design 2: $522.60

Design 3: $318.25

Design 3 as it's the cheapest

Step-by-step explanation:

Design 1

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2(a + b)h (where a and b are the bases and h is the height)

Given the slanted side = 3.5

Height = √(3.5² - 1²) = (3√5)/2

⇒ area of design 1 = 1/2(5 + 3) × (3√5)/2 = 6√5 = 13.42 m²

⇒ cost = 13.42 x 33.5 = $449.45

Design 2

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of a rectangle = width x length

Area of a 6-sided regular polygon = 4 triangles + rectangle

⇒ area of design 2 = 4(1/2 × 1.4 × 2.0) + (2.5 × 4) = 15.6 m²

⇒ cost = 15.6 x 33.5 = $522.60

Design 3

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2(a + b)h (where a and b are the bases and h is the height)

⇒ area of design 3 = 1/2(3 + 2) × 2 + 1/2(3 + 1.5) × 2 = 9.5 m²

⇒ cost = 9.5 x 33.5 = $318.25

Answer 2

Answer: Each design costs 5 dollars. I would choose design 2 because its bigger.
