Use the image to answer the question.

Four right triangles and a rectangle are connected sharing sides and form a rocket-shaped figure.

A room is being carpeted and the model of the carpet is shown in the image. If the cost of 1 ft2 of carpet is $20, what is the cost of the whole carpet?

To determine the cost of carpeting the whole rocket-shaped figure, we first need to calculate the total area of the figure in square feet and then multiply that by the cost per square foot of carpet.

  1. Calculate the area: You would need the dimensions of the triangles and rectangle shown in the image to calculate the total area. However, since I can't see the image, you'll need to provide that information or calculate it based on the shapes shown.

    Assuming you have done that calculation, let’s say the total area (A) in square feet is obtained.

  2. Cost Calculation: Given that the cost of carpet is $20 per square foot, the total cost (C) can be calculated as: \[ C = A \times 20 \]

  3. Choose the correct answer: Compare the calculated cost with the options provided.

If, for example, your calculations yield a total area of 50 square feet: \[ C = 50 \times 20 = 1000 \] You would then select the closest cost option available.

Since I can't see the image or do the calculations directly, please provide the calculated area or the dimensions, and I’ll help you further!
