Answer:

Number of people fit in 6 feet by 6 feet room = 12 people

Explanation:

Given:

Number of people fit in 9 feet by 4 feet room = 12 people

Find;

Number of people fit in 6 feet by 6 feet room

Computation:

Surface area of 9 feet by 4 feet room = 9 x 4

Surface area of 9 feet by 4 feet room = 36 feetĀ²

So,

Surface area of 6 feet by 6 feet room = 6 x 6

Surface area of 6 feet by 6 feet room = 36 feetĀ²

Surface area of both rooms are equal. so number of people are also equal

Number of people fit in 6 feet by 6 feet room = 12 people
