Area of the rectangle is given by formula

Area = length * width

Then area of bed having dimension 2.78feet by 4.81feet will be:

Area1= 2.78*4.81 = 13.3718 square feet.

Area of bed having dimension 2.78feet by 5.61feet will be:

Area2= 2.78*5.61 = 15.5958 square feet.

Now add both areas to find total area

Total area = 13.3718 +15.5958 = 28.9676

We have to find which choice does NOT represent the total area.

Choices are not given so you just have to pick choice which is not same as 28.9676 square feet.
