ummm im kinda confused on this one 😭
A lot is 60 ft by 41 ft and will have fence built around the edge. A house 8 ft by 30 is built on the lot and the remaining area will be resodded at a cost of $ per square foot.
The cost to resod the area between the house and the fence is $ ______ (plzz show work!! i want to write this down on my notes :) )
Thank u to those who help!
turns out i did it myself and came up with the answer of 2,220ft^2 and it was correct 💀
why is this bot always wrong 😭✋
i don't this is correct..?
Answer:
The area to be resodded is (60 ft x 41 ft) - (8 ft x 30 ft) = 1,848 ft^2
Therefore, the cost to resod the area between the house and the fence is 1,848 ft^2 x $ per square foot = $
To find the cost to resod the area between the house and the fence, we first need to calculate the area of the lot and the area of the house.
The area of the lot is given by the length multiplied by the width:
Area of the lot = Length × Width = 60 ft × 41 ft = 2460 sq ft
The area of the house is given by the length multiplied by the width:
Area of the house = Length × Width = 8 ft × 30 ft = 240 sq ft
To find the remaining area that needs to be resodded, we subtract the area of the house from the area of the lot:
Remaining area = Area of the lot - Area of the house = 2460 sq ft - 240 sq ft = 2220 sq ft
Now, we need to calculate the cost to resod this remaining area. The cost per square foot is given, but you have left it blank in your question. Let's call this cost "C" dollars per square foot.
Cost to resod the remaining area = Area × Cost per square foot
Cost to resod the remaining area = Remaining area × C
Therefore, the cost to resod the area between the house and the fence is C × 2220 dollars.
