<PRE><B>Question 1206357</B>
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.
