Answer 1

0.03906square foot

Explanation:

Given the dimension of the bedroom yo be 2.25in by 2.5in

First we need to convert to foot

2.25in = 0.08333×2.25 = 0.1875feet

2.5in = 0.08333×2.5 = 0.2083feet

Area of the rectangular bedroom = length × width

Area of the rectangular bedroom = 0.1875×0.2083

Area of the rectangular bedroom = 0.03906square foot
