Question

If a room requires 25.4 square yards of carpeting, what is the area of the floor in units of ft2? (3 ft = 1 yd)

Answer 1

Answer : The area of the floor in the unit of square feet is, 228.6 square feet

Explanation :

1 yard = 3 feet

Now squaring on both the side, we get

$(1yard)^2=(3feet)^2$

1 square yard = 9 square feet

As, 1 square yard = 9 square feet

As, 25.4 square yard = (9 × 25.4) = 228.6 square feet

Therefore, the area of the floor in the unit of square feet is, 228.6 square feet
