how much carpet is needed for a room that is 7ft long and9 feet wide

Question

need to show work

Answer 1

The amount of carpet that is needed is equal to the area of the floor.  Since the dimensions given are 7 ft long and 9 ft wide, I am going to assume that the room is a rectangle.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is: Area = Length X Width

Area = 7 ft X 9 ft

Area = 63 ft²

Notice that the units on the area are square feet (ft²) since the units are multiplied by each other.
