Question

Mr. Hawkins is covering a room in carpet. The room measures 14 feet by 12 feet in a rectangular shape. Each square foot of carpet costs $2.10. What is the cost of carpeting the room?

Answer 1

Cost of carpeting the room will be $ 352.8

Explanation:

Given,

The geometrical shape of the room is rectangular.

Length of the room = 14 feet

Breadth of the room = 12 feet

Area of the rectangular room = length of the room × breadth of the room

⇒ 14 feet × 12 feet

⇒ 168 square feet

Cost of carpeting one square foot = $ 2.10

∴ Cost of carpeting the room = Cost of carpeting one square foot × Area of the room

⇒ $ 2.10 × 168 square feet

⇒ $ 352.8
