Question

A rectangular room is 12 1/2 feet long and 10 1/3 feet wide. What is the area of the room?

Answers to choose from:
A 22 5/6 square feet
B 120 1/6 square feet
C 120 1/3 square feet
D 129 1/6 square feet

Answer 1

D. 129 1/6 square feet

Explanation:

L x W = A is the equation used to solve for the area of quadrilaterals

When we substitute the values of L and W for what the length and width actually are, we end up with the equation 12 1/2 x 10 1/3 = A.

Now you just need to multiply the length and width which will give you 129 1/6 square feet.
