I am building a treehouse. The treehouse will be 8 feet wide and 6 1/2 feet long. It is 5 feet tall. They want to carpet the floor How many square feet of carpeting will they need?

Answer 1

Since we are only carpeting the floor, then all it matters is the area of the floor. We are told the floor is 8 by 6.5 ft. When we calculate the area of a rectangle we multiply its one side by the other. So the area of the floor is 8x6.5=52 ft^2.

Hope this helps!
