Answer:
Cost of tiling the floor of the restaurant = $346.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Mario's restaurant is in the shape of a composite figure.
Area of the composite figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of trapezoid
Area of the rectangle = 3 × 9
= 27 square feet
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(b_{1}+b_{2}).h[/tex]
Here [tex]b_{1}[/tex] and [tex]b_{2}[/tex] are the parallel sides of the trapezoid and 'h' is the distance between these sides.
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[12+(31-9)]\times 12[/tex]
= 17 × 12
= 204 square feet
Total area of the floor = 27 + 204
= 231 square feet
Cost of the tiles = $1.5 per square feet
Total Cost of tiling the floor of Mario's restaurant will be,
= per square feet cost × Area of the floor
= 1.50 × 231
= $346.5
