Question

The figure shows a carpeted room. How many square feet of the room is carpeted?

Answer 1

40 square feet

Explanation:

we can cut the carpeted space into 2 parts for easier calculation.

we can do 4 x 5 to find the first part, which equals to 20 square feet.

then, to find the side length of the left over rectangle, you can do 6 - 4, making it the length of the side length, which is 2. then all you must do is multiply 2 by 10, which also equals to 20 square feet.

Just add up both of the calculations(20 +20) then you'll get your answer!

the answer is 40 square feet.

Hope this helps and you understand now!

Answer 2

40

Explanation:

So split it into two shapes. Two rectangles.

Rectangle 1 = 4 * 5 = 20

Rectangle 2 = 2 * 10 = 20

20 + 20 = 40
