If the metal used to construct the spinner costs $13.25 per square centimeter, how much will it cost to make this part of the compass? round to the nearest cent. cost = $

The Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relationship in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.
It states that the area of the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.
Formula: c = √a² + b².

To find how much will it cost to make this part of the compass:

By Pythagorean theorem we calculate the height:

√5² - 1²

Height of triangle = √24

Area of triangle = base × height.
Area = 2 × √24

There are two triangles so:

2 × 2 × √24 = 4√24

Multiply this by 13.25 to get the total cost:

= $259.65

Therefore, the cost to make this part of the compass will be $259.65.
