Question

Each side of a square classroom is 8 meters long. The school wants to replace the carpet in the classroom with new carpet that costs $35.00 per square meter. How much will the new carpet cost?

Answer 1

Because a square has 4 sides, you would multiply the 8 meters by 4. That would mean that the entire room is 32 squared meters. Then multiply the 32 meters by the cost ($35.00). The total cost of the new carpet is $1,120
