The floor of a room is covered with a carpet with a 2-color design. The room is square shaped. Each side has 12 ft.The red circle of the carpet,...

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

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
