Question

Julia has 2 identical rooms in her house. If each room measures 8 feet on one side and 12 feet on another, what is the total area of the rooms? A. 96 square feet B. 156 square feet C.

Answer 1

The total square footage of her two rooms would be 192 square feet.

You can get this by finding the area of the first room and then multiplying it by 2 (since they are the same size).

Area = length * width

Area = 8 * 12

Area = 96

Now that we have that, multiply by 2.

96*2 = 192
