Answer 1

The area of the rectangular roof (both sides of the roof) = 1,360 ft²

Cost to cover both sides = $1,020

What is the Area of a Rectangle?

The area of a rectangle = (length)(width)

• Length of one side of the roof = 40 ft
• Width of one side of the roof = √(15² + 8²) = 17

Area of both sides of the roof = 2(area of rectangle) = 2(40×17) = 1,360 ft²

Cost to cover both sides = 1,360 × 0.75 = $1,020
