The design of a building that has a square pyramid roof as a roof is shown. The cost of material for the outside of the building and for the roof ranges from $25 per square foot to $50 per square foot. The budget for this material is $500,000. The rectangular front of the building has a length twice as long as its height. The slant height of the roof is the same as the height of the rectangular front of the building.
