Glenda wants to glue glitter over a piece of felt shaped like a parallelogram with a height of 36 in. and a base of 46 in. If the glitter costs $1.20 per ft2 to cover the felt, how much will it cost to cover the felt?

Question

A) $55.20
B) $1987.2
C) $165.60
D) $13.80

Answer 1

Area = width times height

A = 36 * 46

Convert the area to square feet.

1 square inches = 0.00694444444 square feet

Multiply the area in feet by $1.20 to find the cost.

I'll be glad to check your answer.
