You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since it is a SEMI circle the area is: (half a circle)
%28pi%29r%5E2%2F2
plugging in our values
%283.14%2915%5E2%2F2
%283.14%29225%2F2
706.5%2F2
353.25 square inches (area of semicircle window)
.
Now, we multiply the area (above) by cost per inch:
353.25+%2A+0.85
300.26
That's $300.26 for the coating.
