tyson charges $20 per square foot of rug for a basic design. a client orders one basic rectangular-shaped rug that is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide and one basic rug shaped like a parallelogram that is not a rectangle with a base that is 8 feet long and a height that is 3 feet. what is the total cost for the rugs .
A = 6*4 + 3*8 == 48 Ft^2,
Cost = 20 * 48 =
The answer will be 48 .
6x4=24
8x3=24

To calculate the total cost for the rugs, we need to find the area of each rug and then multiply it by the cost per square foot. Let's start with the rectangular-shaped rug.
1. Rectangular-shaped rug:
- Length: 6 feet
- Width: 4 feet
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its length by its width. So, the area of the rectangular-shaped rug is:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 6 feet x 4 feet
Area = 24 square feet
Now, we can calculate the cost for the rectangular-shaped rug:
Cost = Area x Cost per square foot
Cost = 24 square feet x $20 per square foot
Cost = $480
The cost of the rectangular-shaped rug is $480.
2. Parallelogram-shaped rug:
- Base: 8 feet
- Height: 3 feet
To find the area of a parallelogram, you need to multiply its base by its height. So, the area of the parallelogram-shaped rug is:
Area = Base x Height
Area = 8 feet x 3 feet
Area = 24 square feet
Now, we can calculate the cost for the parallelogram-shaped rug:
Cost = Area x Cost per square foot
Cost = 24 square feet x $20 per square foot
Cost = $480
The cost of the parallelogram-shaped rug is $480.
Finally, to find the total cost for the rugs, we add the costs of the rectangular-shaped rug and the parallelogram-shaped rug together:
Total Cost = Cost of rectangular-shaped rug + Cost of parallelogram-shaped rug
Total Cost = $480 + $480
Total Cost = $960
The total cost for both rugs is $960.
