Answer 2

Answer:

4 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the dimensions of the hole in the carpet are 2ft by  2ft. All we have to do is find the area of that shape. Since the two side lengths are the same, and the shape appears to have 4 right angles in each of its corners, we can deduce that the shape is a square. We know that the area of a square can be found by multiplying the length and width measurements of the shape:

2ft * 2ft

= 4 ft²
