Answer

The cost of building a home is\[\$153,900\].

Work Step by Step

To calculate the construction cost of the house, we will first find the area of the house and multiply it with the construction cost per square foot. Compute the total area of the house as follows: \[\begin{align} & A=lb \\ & =54\text{ ft}\times 30\text{ ft} \\ & =1620\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}} \end{align}\] Compute the total cost of the building as mentioned below: \[\begin{align} & \text{Cost}=1620\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}\times \$95\\&=\$153,900\end{align}\] Hence, the cost of building the home is\[\$153,900\].
