Answer:
(a)270 Square feet
(b)30 Square Yard.
Explanation:
Tina’s rectangular living-room floor measures 15 feet by 18 feet.
Length=18 feet
Breadth =15 feet
Area of a Rectangle = Length X Breadth
(a) Area of the Room = 15 X 18 =270 Square feet
Tina will need 270 Square feet of carpet to cover the entire room.
(b) 1 Yard = 3 Feet
(1 X 1) Square Yard = (3 X 3) Square Feet
1 Square Yard = 9 Square Feet
If Tina needs 270 Square feet of carpet
9 Square Feet = 1 Square Yard
270 Square feet = (270/9) Square Yard
=30 Square Yard.
