Question

Ben’s living room is a rectangle measuring 10 yards x 168” by how many feet does the legs of the room exceed the width

Answer 1

16 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

Ben’s living room is a rectangle measuring 10 yards x 168.

Question asked:

How many feet does the legs of the room exceed the width ?

Solution:

By applying unitary method:

Length of rectangle = 10 yards = 30 feet (1 yard = 3 feet)

(10 yard =
`3*10 = 30)`

Breadth of rectangle = 168 inch = 14 feet (12 inch = 1 feet)

(1 inch =
`(1)/(12)`)

( 168 inch =
`(1)/(12)`
`*168 = 14 feet)`

By subtracting the breadth from the length of rectangle,

30 feet - 14 feet = 16 feet

Therefore, by 16 feet, length of the room exceed the width.
