Question

Darlene’s room measures 12 feet on one side and 9 feet on another. Help her calculate the area of her room. The area of a rectangular room is a product of its length and width.

Answer 1

Area = length * width
Or
A = lw

So:
A = (12)(9)
A = 12 * 9
A = 108

Answer 2

The area of her room is:

`108\ \text{square feet}`

Explanation:

We know that the area of a rectangular room is a product of its length and width.

i.e.

`\text{Area}=\text{Length}* \text{width}`

Darlene’s room measures 12 feet on one side and 9 feet on another.

i.e. if we let length of room = 12 feet

and width of room is: 9 feet.

Then , the area of the rectangular room is:

`Area=12* 9\\\\i.e.\\\\Area=108\ \text{square feet}`

Hence, the area of room is: 108 square feet.
