Question

Carpet costs $21.95 per square yard and the padding to put under it costs $2.55 per square yard. Felix plans to install padding and carpet in the region shown in the figure. What is the total cost of the carpet and padding needed to exactly cover the room?

Answer 1

$1679.175 or $1679.18

Explanation:

split the carpet into rectangles to make it easier to look at

one rectangle is 2 yards in height and 9 yards in width (5 yards plus 4 yards)

area of a rectangle = (w)(h), so 9 x 2 = 18 yards in area.

second triangle is 4 yards in width, and 3 yards in height.

area of a rectangle = (w)(h), so 4 x 3 = 12 yards in area.

Total area = 30 yards

30(21.95)(2.55) = $1679.175 or $1679.18
