Question

If a two story home has a ground floor of 25*30 feet and second floor of 20*30 feet, what is the total square footage of the home?

Answer 1

Answer: 1350 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The total square footage of the home will be equal to the sum of the areas of each floor.

We know that the ground floor is 25 ft by 30ft,  which can be thought of as a rectangle with a length of 25ft and a width of 30 ft.

We know that te area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:

A = L*W

then the area of the ground floor is:

A = 25ft*30ft = 750 ft^2

And the second floor is 20ft by 30ft, then using the same approach as above, the area of the second floor will be:

A = 20ft*30ft = 600ft^2

Then the total square footage of the home is:

SF = 750ft^2 + 600ft^2 = 1350 ft^2
