Explanation:

Key skills needed here: Rectangle Area, Operations

1) She has 2 identical rooms and each one measures 8 ft. x 12 ft.

2) Most rooms are rectangles, so this one is one too.

3) The area of a rectangle is L x W, with L being the length and W being the width (check my image to learn more)

4) Now you can use the formula to find the area of one room and the multiply it by 2 since there are 2 rooms.

---->> A = L X W = 8 x 12 = 96

Each room is 96 square feet.

96 X 2 = 192

This means the total area is 192 square feet.

Answer 2

The area of a rectangle is one side times the other, and this is the same for two rooms. 2⋅8⋅12=192 square feet.
