Question

The floor plan shows an l shaped room. Shane wants to buy carpet for the room. The cost for one square foot of carpet is $4. What is the cost to carpet the room

Answer 1

The area of shape is the amount of space on it.

The cost to carpet the room is $224

From the floor plan (see attachment), we can divide the room into two shapes:

1. A 8ft by 6ft rectangle
2. A 4ft by 2ft rectangle

So, the area of the floor plan is:

$\mathbf{Area = 8ft \times 6ft + 4ft \times 2ft}$

$\mathbf{Area = 48ft^2 + 8ft^2}$

$\mathbf{Area = 56ft^2}$

The unit cost of carpet is $4 per one square foot

So, the cost to carpet the room is:

$\mathbf{Cost = \ 4 \times 56}$

$\mathbf{Cost = \ 224}$

Hence, the cost to carpet the room is $224
