Answer:

The Dillars will need 88 feet squared of carpet.

Explanation:

The living room represents the shape of a rectangle since the dimensions are not equal. The area of a rectangle can always be found by multiplying the length times the width or 11 x 8. Since the dimensions are in feet, we also need to multiply the measurements as well. So, 11 feet x 8 feet = 88 feet squared. The amount of carpet they will need to fit the living room is 88 feet squared.
