Question

Kristen wants to build a concrete patio that will be 7 meters by 11 meters. It will cost $5.00 per square meter to build. What will be the total cost of the patio?

Answer 1

To determine the price that will be paid for this patio, you will need to find the area of the patio.  Then multiply the area by the price of $5 per square meter.

1.  A = bh
          7m x 11m
     A = 77 square meters

2.  $5 per square meter x 77 square meters
    $385 to build the patio.
