Answer:

$6,672

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Playground

  • Area (rectangle) + 2 x Area (semicircle)
  • 26 x 20 + 2 x 3.14 x 10² x 1/2
  • 520 + 314
  • 834 square feet

Cost

  • $8.00 per square feet
  • $8 x 834
  • $6,672

Answer:

Using π:  $6,673.27 (nearest cent)

Using π = 3.14:  $6,672

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate the figure into a rectangle and two semicircles.

Area of a rectangle = width × length

                                = 20 ft × 26 ft

                                = 520 ft²

Area of a semicircle = 1/2 π r²

                                 = 1/2 π · 10²

                                 = 50π ft²

⇒ Total area = area of rectangle + (2 × area of semicircle)

                     = 520 + (2 × 50π)

                    = (520 + 100π) ft²

⇒ Total cost = area × cost

                     = (520 + 100π) × $8

                     = $6,673.27 (nearest cent)

**using π = 3.14**

Total cost = (520 + 100 × 3.14) × $8 = $6,672
