Question

John's room is 12 feet by 8 feet. Spencer's room is 14 feet by 9 feet. How much larger is Spencer's room than John's room

Answer 1

Answer: 30 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the area of both rooms.

John's room is 12x8 ft, so we can multiply to get the area. 12x8=96 ft squared.

Spencer's room is 14x9 ft, so we will do the same thing. 14x9= 126 ft squared.

Now, we can subtract 96 from 126 to find out how much larger Spencer's room is. 126-96= 30 ft squared.

hope this helped!
