Answer :

absor201

It will cost $36,000 to cover the field with sod.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost per square foot = $0.60

Length of sides = 300 feet, 400 feet and 500 feet

As the bigger length is hypotenuse.

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{Base*Perpendicular}{2}[/tex]

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{300*400}{2}[/tex]

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{120000}{2}=60000\ square\ feet[/tex]

Cost of covering 60000 square feet = 0.60*60000

Cost of covering 60000 square feet = $36000

It will cost $36,000 to cover the field with sod.
