Question

a rectangular lawn is 23 meters by 29 meters. the grass for the lawn cost $4.00 per square meter. how much did the grass for the lawn cost in all?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the rectangular lawn

The area formula for a rectangle is \(A = length\times width\). Here, \(length = 29\) meters and \(width=23\) meters. So, \(A=29\times23\).

The area of the lawn is \(667\) square meters.

Step2: Calculate the total cost

The cost per square meter is \(\$4.00\). To find the total cost \(C\), we use the formula \(C=\text{Cost per square meter}\times\text{Area}\). So, \(C = 4\times667\).

$$4\times667=(4\times600)+(4\times60)+(4\times7)=2400 + 240+28=2668$$

Answer:

\(2668\)
