Question

The school athletic director has a storage closet that is 4 and 1/2 ft long and 2 and 2/3 ft deep and 6 ft tall she wants to put carpet in the closet how much carpeting will she need

Answer 1

3 ft^2

Explanation:

We'll assume the carpet is only for the closet floor. In that case we don't need the closet height.

Area of the floor can be calculated by multiplying the length (4 1/2 feet) and depth (2/3 foot):

Area = (4 1/2 feet)*(2/3 feet)

Area = (9/2 ')*(2/3 ')

Area = (18/6)'

Area = 3 ft^2
