Answer 1

199 square feet

Explanation:

Given:

Trace needs a new carpet for her house.

Dimension of dining room = 6 feet by 4 feet.

Dimension of sitting area = 10 feet by 15 feet.

Dimension of breakfast nook = 5 feet by 5 feet.

Question asked:

How many square feet of carpet does she need ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the area of each part of the house and then add up.

`Area \ of \ dining\ room=length* width`

`=6*4\\ \\ =24\ square\ feet`

`Area \ of \ sitting\ part=length* width`

`=15*10\\ \\ =150\ square\ feet`

`Area \ of \ breakfast\ nook=(side)^(2)`

`=5^(2) =25\ square\ feet`

Total carpet needed will be needed = For dining + For sitting area + For breakfast nook

= 24 + 150 + 25

= 199 square feet

Therefore, she needs 199 square feet of a new carpet for her house.
