I know this is math but.. ~If a deck is 24.5 ft. and each square foot is 5$, how much would the deck cost?~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is not the unit of the deck square foot as well?

OpenStudy (sophadof):

no the deck is in feet..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cannot figure it out...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have the dimensions of the deck?

OpenStudy (sophadof):

well see... hang on it's complicated..

OpenStudy (sophadof):

OpenStudy (sophadof):

that's the entire thing.. @ghuczek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does it mean that the deck is 24.5 ft? It has to have an area. You have only given one dimension.

OpenStudy (sophadof):

oh...well then..i don't know how to do that :( @ghuczek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I couldn't help you with this. Is the deck square?

OpenStudy (sophadof):

no :/ it's in the picture^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you post the picture?

OpenStudy (sophadof):

OpenStudy (sophadof):

it's the problem above the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK. Now you have to figure out the area of the entire surface of the deck. The shape is irregular, so break it up into small regular sections - squares, rectangles and triangles, and find the area of each. Add them up to get the total area. Multiply the total area by five to get the price.
