Area of triangle and rectangle

Based on the information given:

The carpet costs $1.75 per square foot

Get the area of the carpet

Area = 24(7) + 7(15) + 0.5(28) + 0.5(28)

Area of the composite figure = 273 + 28

Area of the composite figure = 301 ft²

Cost of the carpet = 301 * 1.75

Cost of the carpet = $526.75

Hence the cost of the carpet is $526.75
