Matthew · Answer 1

C = (13.75 * B * H) / 3750

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is represented by the equation A = 1/2 * B * H

Every time another 3750 square feet is covered, $27.50 is spent. So, we can represent the cost using the equation C = A/3750 * 27.50

Plugging in the base and height, C = (1/2 * B * H * 27.50) / 3750

C = (13.75 * B * H) / 3750

Renee Day · Answer 2

The answer would be (base times height) / 3750, and then take that answer and multiply by 27.50

[ (BxH) / 3759]x27.50
