Answer 1

She need 96 square feet carpet to cover the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Tina covers the floor of a room with carpeting. She uses carpet squares that measure one foot on each side.

Now, to find carpet squares does she need to cover a room that 8 feet wide by 12 feet long.

So, the dimensions of room are:

Length = 12 feet.

Width = 8 feet.

Now, getting the area by putting formula:

Area of room = Length × width

`Area\ of\ room = 12* 8`

`Area\ of\ room=96\ square\ feet.`

Therefore, she need 96 square feet carpet to cover the room.
