Answer:

Option B. 44 square feet.

Explanation:

The figure shows a carted room. We have to find the area of the room which is carpeted.

The given room consist of two rectangles.

Larger rectangle with the sides = 8x (7 - 4 ) feet = 8 × 3 feet and smaller rectangle with the sides = 5 × 4 feet

Area of larger rectangle = 8 × 3 = 24 feet²

Area of smaller rectangle = 5 × 4 = 20 feet²

Total area of the room = 24 + 20 = 44 feet²

Option B. 44 square feet is the answer.
