The shape of a patio is a trapezoid with height 10 feet and bases 22 feet and 16 feet. What is the cost of outdoor carpeting to cover the patio if carpet costs $4.50 per square foot?
Area of trapezoid = 1/2* sum of parallel sides * height
​
= 1/2* (22+16)*10= 190 ft^2
Cost per ft^2= $4.5
Cost of carpet = 190*4.5
= $855
Cost of outdoor carpeting to cover the patio is $855.
