Question

A medical office is replacing their existing flooring with carpeting in the waiting and office areas and laminate flooring in the patient exam rooms. If each of the 10 exam rooms is 10 feet by 10 feet, the waiting area is 20 feet by 15 feet, and the office area is 25 by 20 feet, how many total square feet of flooring will they be replacing?

Answer 1

Area of 1 exam room = 10 ft. × 10 ft. = 100 ft.²
Area of 10 exam room = 100 ft.² × 10 = 1000 ft.²

Area of waiting room = 20 ft. × 15 ft. = 300 ft.²

Area of office area = 25 ft. × 20 ft. = 500 ft.²

Now,
Total area of the hospital to be replaced = 1000 ft.² + 300 ft.² + 500 ft.² = 1800 ft.²
