The perimeter of a square floor is 32 M. What is the cost of carpeting the floor at $8 per square meter?

Answer 1

If the perimeter is 32 m, then the length of one side is 32 ÷ 4 = 8.

Because the length of one side is 8m, the area of the room is 8² = 64 meters squared

The cost of carpeting is $8 x 64 = $512
