It will cost £260 to buy enough flooring for the room.

The image shows a room with dimensions 5 m, 2 m, and 2 m.

To find the total area of the room, we need to add up the areas of each of the walls and the floor.

Area of wall 1 = 5 m * 2 m = 10 m^2

Area of wall 2 = 2 m * 2 m = 4 m^2

Area of wall 3 = 2 m * 9 m = 18 m^2

Area of floor = 5 m * 2 m = 10 m^2

Total area = 10 m^2 + 4 m^2 + 18 m^2 + 10 m^2 = 26 m^2

To find the cost of flooring for the room, we need to multiply the total area by the cost per square meter.

Cost of flooring = 26 m^2 * £10 per m^2 = £420

Therefore, it will cost £260 to buy enough flooring for the room.
