The area of shape is the amount of space on it.
The cost to carpet the room is $224
From the floor plan (see attachment), we can divide the room into two shapes:
- A 8ft by 6ft rectangle
- A 4ft by 2ft rectangle
So, the area of the floor plan is:
[tex]\mathbf{Area = 8ft \times 6ft + 4ft \times 2ft}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Area = 48ft^2 + 8ft^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Area = 56ft^2}[/tex]
The unit cost of carpet is $4 per one square foot
So, the cost to carpet the room is:
[tex]\mathbf{Cost = \$4 \times 56}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Cost = \$224}[/tex]
Hence, the cost to carpet the room is $224
