Barbara needs to buy a bathroom mirror that is 5 feet wide and 5 feet long. If the mirror sells for $4.00 per square foot, what will the total cost of the mirror be?
that is not correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To find the total cost of the bathroom mirror, you need to calculate the area of the mirror first. The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is Length x Width.
In this case, the mirror is 5 feet wide and 5 feet long. Therefore, the area of the mirror is:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 5 feet x 5 feet
Area = 25 square feet
The given price is $4.00 per square foot. To find the total cost, you need to multiply the area of the mirror by the price per square foot:
Total cost = Area x Price per square foot
Total cost = 25 square feet x $4.00 per square foot
Total cost = $100.00
Therefore, the total cost of the bathroom mirror will be $100.00.
