PLEASE HELP THIS IS THE LAST QUESTION IF I GET THIS WRONG THAT WILL BE THE END OF ME

Answer 1

The rectangle has twice the length of the square side.

The square has a side of 2 yards.

Then, we have to calculate the area of the square and the rectangle and add them.

The area of the square is equal to the square of its side (2 yards):

`A_s=l^2=2^2=4\text{ sq yd}`

The rectangle area is equal to the product of the length (equal to the side length, 2 yd) and the width (2 times the side of the square, 4 yd):

`A_r=l\cdot w=2\cdot4=8\text{ sq yd}`

If we add them, we get the total surface of the carpet:

`A=A_s+A_r=4+8=12\text{ sq yd}`

Answer: the carpet is 12 square yards [Option A].
