Answer:
Austin will have to buy 180 squares of carpeting.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the dimension of the room. We do that by multiplying the width times the length and then subtracting the cut out region in the top right. And, in order to know how big that region we cut out is, we have to do a little subtraction.
We know the room is 18' long on the left side and 12' long on the right side. We subtract 12 from 18 to get 6, and we know that the cut out region is 6' long. We do the same thing with the width, 25' wide at the bottom minus 10' wide at the top and we see that the cut out is 15' wide.
18 x 25 = 450
6 x 15 = 90
450 - 90 = 360. The area of the room is 360
Each piece of carpet is 2' by 1'. So for every 2' long, the piece of carpet is 1' wide. Each carpet piece will cover 2 . Divide 360 by 2 and you get 180.
To calculate the square root, you can either use the √symbol on a calculator or you can manually find it using Prime Factorization. For non-perfect squares, Prime Factorization is the way to go.
The first two steps work for solving large perfect squares as well.
1. Divide your number into perfect square factors.
2. Take the square roots of your perfect square factors.
3. If your number doesn't factor perfectly, reduce your answer to simplest terms.
4. If needed, estimate. In some cases if you have memorized some of the square roots, you can estimate where the number would be.
ie.
you know that 
and 
, so you can estimate that the would be between 7 and 8 but closer to 8.
5. <span>Alternatively, reduce your number to its lowest common factors as your first step.</span><span> Finding perfect square factors isn't necessary if you can easily determine a number's prime factors (factors that are also prime numbers).
ie. </span>
