Question

jane wants to replace a glass window in her restaurant. the window is in the shape of a square. its side lengths are 8 feet. suppose glass costs $6 for each square foot. how much will the glass cost to replace the window?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the square window

The area formula for a square is \(A = s^2\), where \(s\) is the side - length. Given \(s = 8\) feet, so \(A=8\times8 = 64\) square feet.

Step2: Calculate the cost of the glass

Since glass costs \(\$6\) for each square foot, the total cost \(C\) is the product of the area \(A\) and the cost per square foot. Using the formula \(C=6\times A\), substitute \(A = 64\) into the formula: \(C = 6\times64=384\)

Answer:

\(384\)
