Answer:
$288
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the area of one rectangular eave of the roof you have to multiply 24 by the hypotenuse of the 12 ft x 16 ft triangular side, so you can find that by using the Pythagorean Theorem
16² + 12² = c²
256 + 144 = c²
400 = c²
20 = c
Area of one eave = 24 x 20 = 480
Area of total roof = 480 x 2 = 960
set up a proportion to find cost ('x'):
30 = x
100 960
cross-multiply: 100x = 28800
x = $288
