Question

Jimmy is planning to paint the gate of his house. The gate has a glass panel. Painting the gate costs $2.50 per square foot. How much will he have to spend to paint the gate? PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 103.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the gate

The area of the gate is equal to the area of a trapezoid minus the area of the rectangular glass panel

$A=\frac{1}{2}(10+7)(5)-(0.71)(1.43)= 41.5\ ft^{2}$

step 2

Find the cost

Multiply the total area by $2.50  

so

$41.5*2.50=\ 103.75$
