Question

Angela is carpeting a rectangular conference room that measures 20

Answer 1

$a = lw$

$a = (30)(20)$

$a = 600 \: {ft}^{2}$

The conference room has an area of 600 ft²

//

$a = lw$

$a = (5)(4)$

$a = 20 \: {ft}^{2}$

The carpet has an area of 20 ft²

//

$\frac{600}{20} = 30$

She would need 30 pieces to carpet the entire room.
