Question

Mr. Wood wants to put a carpet in his brand new classroom. He is going to install a carpet that is 14 feet long and 9.5 feet wide. What is the total area of the new carpet?

Answer 1

133 feet²

Explanation:

To find the area of a shape you need to use the the formula "length(L) times(×) width(W)". In this problem it gives you both the length and width which means you just need to multiply the two numbers to get your answer. (You need to add feet because that's what is being used in the problem and ²(squared) because area is measured in square units.
