Given:
Length of rectangular floor = 15 ft
Width of rectangular floor = 12 ft.
Let's find the area in square yards.
Apply the formula for area of a rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Thus, we have:
Area = 15 x 12 = 180 square feet.
Now to write the area in square yards, we have:
Where:
1 yd = 3 ft
1 square yard = 9 square feet
Hence, we have:
180 square feet = 180/9 = 20 square yrds
Therefore, the area of carpet will be in square yards:
20 yd²
ANSWER:
20 yd²
