Answer:
Area of carpet = 177.625 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of room = = 14.5 ft
Width of room = = 12.25 ft
Find:
Area of carpet
Computation:
Area of carpet = lb
Area of carpet = (14.5)(12.25)
Area of carpet = 177.625 ft²
Micheal estimation = 15.5 x 12.25 = 189.875
Tracy estimation = 12.25 x 15.5 = 189.875
Both wrong.
