First find the area of one panel.

Area = Length * Width = 5*2 = 10 square feet.


So the area of one panel is 10 square feet.


Now multiply this by 33 to find the total area of the 33 panels: 33*10 = 330


So the total area of 33 panels is 330 square feet.


Now multiply this total area by the cost per square foot to get: 330*0.30 = 99.00


So the total cost is $99.00
