Answer:
- Tamara needs to cover a total of <u>476</u> square feet.
- Tamara <u>will</u> have enough material to cover all four walls.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the room dimensions are 8 1/3 feet by 11 1/2 feet, the perimeter length is ...
P = 2(L+W) = 2(8 1/3 +11 1/2) = 2(19 5/6) = 39 2/3 feet
The area of the walls is the product of this perimeter length and the height of the wall. If that height is 12 feet, then the wall area is ...
A = PH = (39 2/3 ft)(12 ft) = 476 ft²
Tamara needs to cover a total of <u>476</u> square feet.
__
If Tamara orders 480 square feet of material, ...
Tamara <u>will</u> have enough to cover all four walls.
