Answer 1

Wes need 121.52 square feet of tile.

Explanation:

Given:

Wes measures the floor area of rectangular living room to replace the carpet with tiles

The length of the room is 2.6 feet greater than the width.

The width of the room is 9.8 feet.

Now, to find the square feet of tiles Will Wes need.

Width = 9.8 feet.

Length = 2.6 feet + 9.8 feet = 12.4 feet.

So, to get the square feet of tile we get the area of the room:

`Area = length* width`

`Area=12.4* 9.8`

`Area=121.52\ square\ feet.`

Therefore, Wes need 121.52 square feet of tile.
