The Eiffel Tower has a surface area of approximately 76,000 square meters. A restoration company charges $80 per sq yard for re-painting. How muuch will it cost to paint the Eiffel Tower
To calculate the cost of painting the Eiffel Tower, we first need to convert the surface area of the tower from square meters to square yards, since the cost is given in dollars per square yard.
1 square meter is equal to approximately 1.196 square yards.
So, to convert the surface area from square meters to square yards, we multiply it by 1.196:
Surface area in square yards = 76,000 square meters × 1.196 (square yards/square meter)
Surface area in square yards = 90,896 square yards (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Now that we have the surface area in square yards, we can calculate the cost of painting the Eiffel Tower.
The restoration company charges $80 per square yard for re-painting.
Cost to paint the Eiffel Tower = Surface area in square yards × Cost per square yard
Cost to paint the Eiffel Tower = 90,896 square yards × $80
Cost to paint the Eiffel Tower = $7,167,680
Therefore, it will cost approximately $7,167,680 to paint the Eiffel Tower.
1 m^2 = 1.1959905 yards^2
so 76000 m^2 = 90895.278 yards^2
cost = 80(90895.278)
= $7,271,622.24
(In reality, the cost would be found in terms of Euros/m^2. )
