Mrs. bowman designed the rug shown if it cost $22 per square foot to make how much will mes bowman pat for the rug

Mrs Bowman must pay $687.5 for the rug

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- From the figure the rug shaped a rectangle

- The dimensions of the rectangle are 6.25 feet and 5 feet

- The area of any triangle is A = L × W , where L and W are its

 dimensions

- The rug costs $22 per square foot

- To find the cost of the rug we must to find the area of the rug

∵ The dimensions of the rug are 6.25 feet and 5 feet

∵ The area of it is A = L × W

∴ The area of the rug = 6.25 × 5 = 31.25 feet²

∵ The cost of each square foot of the rug is $22

∵ The area of the rug = 31.25 feet²

∵ The cost of the rug = its area × the cost per square foot

∴ The cost of the rug = 31.25 × 22 = $687.5

∴ Mrs Bowman must pay $687.5 for the rug
