Beyond the Answer
To find the cost of a 17 ft by 29 ft brick patio, we first need to determine the cost per square foot based on the 15 ft by 20 ft patio. The area of the 15 ft by 20 ft patio is: \[ 15 \times 20 = 300 \text{ sq ft} \] The cost per square foot is: \[ \frac{2275}{300} \approx 7.58 \text{ dollars/sq ft} \] Next, calculate the area of the 17 ft by 29 ft patio: \[ 17 \times 29 = 493 \text{ sq ft} \] Then, multiply the area by the cost per square foot: \[ 493 \times 7.58 \approx 3736.34 \] Rounding to the nearest dollar, the total cost would be approximately \( \$3,736 \). So, the cost to have a 17 ft by 29 ft brick patio installed is approximately \( \$3,736 \).
