Question

Philip measures a room using his feet. (His feet are each about a foot long.) He estimates the room measures about ten and a half feet by thirteen and a half feet. He calculates the room’s area to be: 10.5’ × 13.5’ = 141.75 ft2.

Answer 1

142 ft² (Approx)

Given:

Use feet as measurement device( Approx a foot long)

10.5’ × 13.5’ = 141.75 ft²

Find:

Best area for room

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Philip uses his feet to measures the area of the room which is not a proper unit of measurement, so we will take Philip's measurement to the maximum absolute unit

So,

Area of the room = 142 ft² (Approx)
