Answer:
Kwame's team will save = 7.8 [tex]\times[/tex] $0.24 = $1.87
Step-by-step explanation:
i.) Let the side of the equilateral triangle base be a
ii.) the area of the base = 3.9 square feet
iii.) the area of equilateral triangle is = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}[/tex] = 3.9
iv.) Base area = 3.9 square feet
v.) The area that is not covered is the base.
vi.) The total area that is not covered = 3.9 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 since there are two pyramids
therefore the total area not covered = 7.8 square feet
vii.) therefore Kwame's team will save = 7.8 [tex]\times[/tex] $0.24 = $1.87
