The bank is getting a new marble floor that is green and white The width of the floor is 8 ft The white marble triangle will extend 10 ft into the area White marble cost $9.50 per square foot how much will the white marble section cost

Answer 1

To find the cost of the white marble section, we first need to calculate the area of the triangle.

The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.

In this case, the base of the triangle is 8 ft and the height is 10 ft.

A = 1/2 * 8 ft * 10 ft
A = 40 sq ft

Now that we have calculated the area of the white marble section, we can find the cost by multiplying the area by the cost per square foot:

Cost = 40 sq ft * $9.50/sq ft
Cost = $380

Therefore, the white marble section will cost $380.
