The blueprint of a deck has a scale of 2 centimeters equals 9 feet. The scale drawing is shown below I have part A I need help with b

Part B
Decking costs $1.75 per square foot. How much will it cost to build the deck?

Complete question is;

The blueprint of a deck has a scale of 2 centimeters equals 9 feet.

A) What are the actual lengths of the sides of the deck?

B) Decking costs $1.75 per square foot. How much will it cost to build the deck?

A) actual lengths are;

27 ft, 36 ft and 45 ft

B) cost of entire deck = $850.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A) From the attached image, we see that the sides of the triangle deck are;

8cm, 10cm and 6 cm

Now, we know that 2cm represents 9 ft.

Thus;

8cm will be; 8 × 9/2 = 36 ft

10 cm will be; 10 × 9/2 = 45 ft

6 cm will be; 6 × 9/2 = 27 ft

Thus, actual lengths are;

27 ft, 36 ft and 45 ft

B) Area of deck is Area of triangle = ½ × base × height.

In this diagram, base = 6 cm = 27ft

Height = 8 cm = 36 ft

Thus;

Area of deck = ½ × 27 × 36

Area of deck = 486 ft²

We are told that the Decking costs $1.75 per ft²

Thus;

Cost of entire deck = 1.75 × 486 = $850.5
