a rectangular parking lot is 110 yards long and 45 yard wide it costs about $.60 to pave each square foot of the parking lot with asphalt.about how much will it cost to pave the parking lot?
110 yards = 330 feet
45 yards = 135 feet
135 * 330 = 44,550 square feet
44,500 * 0.6 = ?
To find out how much it will cost to pave the parking lot, we need to calculate the total area of the parking lot and then multiply it by the cost per square foot.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the parking lot is 110 yards and the width is 45 yards. So, the total area of the parking lot is:
110 yards * 45 yards = 4950 square yards
Now, let's convert the area from square yards to square feet. Since there are 9 square feet in a square yard, we can multiply the area in square yards by 9 to get the area in square feet:
4950 square yards * 9 square feet/square yard = 44,550 square feet
Finally, we can find the total cost of paving the parking lot by multiplying the area in square feet by the cost per square foot. The cost per square foot is given as $0.60:
44,550 square feet * $0.60/square foot = $26,730
Therefore, it will cost about $26,730 to pave the parking lot with asphalt.
