Answer:
<em>The family will need to purchase 187 square ft carpeting.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of Rectangles</u>
Given a rectangle with width W and length H, the area is calculated as follows:
A = W * H
The new carpet of the family has the shape provided in the figure. We have completed the shape to add some missing dimensions by adding and subtracting the given lengths. Please refer to the attached image.
The total area of the carpet is the sum of the areas of three rectangles.
The rectangle at the bottom has dimensions 3 ft x 20 ft, thus its area is:
A1 = 3 ft * 20 ft = 60 square ft
The rectangle at the middle has dimensions 3 ft x 17 ft, thus its area is:
A2 = 3 ft * 17 ft = 51 square ft
The rectangle at the top has dimensions 4 ft x 19 ft, thus its area is:
A3 = 4 ft * 19 ft = 76 square ft
The total area of the carpet is:
A = 60 square ft + 51 square ft + 76 square ft
A = 187 square ft
The family will need to purchase 187 square ft carpeting.
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of the square, you want to first find the length of each side. Since the figure is a square, we know that each side is equal to each other. We can set the expressions equal to each other to find x.
[subtract both sides by 1/2x]
[add both sides by 1]
[multiply both sides by 4]
Now that we know x, we can plug it into each expression to find teh length of each side.
[multiply]
[subtract]
Now that we know each side is equal to 23, we can add all the sides together to find the perimeter.
23+23+23+23=92 or 23×4=92
Since we know that the perimeter is 92 units, the answer is D.
