Question

You need to estimate the floor area of your unusual oval shaped living room from memory you remember that it is longer than wider and is about 6m long . So you take it to b rectangular with a witdth of 0.5 m and multiply width by length to get an estimate of 3m why was your estimate not done correctly

Answer 1

Answer:

Our estimate not done correctly because the width was unrealistic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 6 m

Width = 0.5 m

We need to calculate the area of rectangular floor

Using formula of area

$A=l\times w$

Where, l = length

w= width

Put the value into the formula

$A=6\times0.5$

$A=3\ m^2$

We need to find why this estimate not done correct

Using given data

We can say that,

We assume width was unrealistic.

The length of room is 6 m.

We know that,

$1\ m=3.28\ feet$

So, the length would be 20 feet.

The width of room is 0.5 m.

The width of room would be 1.64 feet.

So, the area will be

$A=20\times1.64$

$A=32.8\ feet^2$

Hence,  Our estimate not done correctly because the width was unrealistic.
