First, we'll evaluate the area of the room. Since the room
is a square, the area is:
A =
12ft*12ft
A = 144 ft^2
We'll
use now the 2 given prices and we'll calculate:
144ft^2 *
$10/ft^2 = $1440
144ft^2 * $12/ft^2 =
$1728
Now, we'll determine the diameter of the red carpet,
circle shaped. Since we have 2ft to each wall, the diameter will
be:
D = 12 - 4
D = 8
ft
r = 8/2 ft
r = 4
ft
The area of the red circle
is:
A = pi*r^2
A =
3.14*16
A of red carpet = 50.24
ft^2
The cost of the red carpet
is:
50.24 ft^2 * $12/ft^2 =
$602.88
The area of the white carpet
is:
144 ft^2 - 50.24 ft^2 = 93.76
ft^2
The cost of the white carpet
is:
93.76 ft^2 * $10/ft^2 =
$937.60
The total cost of the entire carpet
is:
$602.88 + $937.60 =
$1540.48
