Question

1. Jo’s rectangular dining room is 7 feet wide and 4 feet long. Mike wants to install a new wood floor and new base boards. It will cost $10.00 per square foot for the new flooring.

a. How many square feet of flooring does Jo need to purchase?

Answer 1

Answer:28

Explanation:

Since you are given the length and the width, you can find the area. The area of a 2d rectangular object is always length × width, meaning the area of this floor is 7 × 4, or 28 square feet.

This means the amount of wood floor Jo will need to buy is 28 square feet of flooring, which will cost $280.
