Draw a rectangle that is longer than it is tall.
Along the bottom and top lengths label them 14 ft.
Along the left and right side heights label them 11 ft.
...
Draw a square with all sides about the same length.
Label each side 12 ft.
...
A = length x width
...
A(rectangle) = 14 ft x 11 ft = 154 ft^2
A(square) = 12 ft x 12 ft = 144 ft^2
...
Carpet for both rooms is 154 ft^2 + 144 ft^2 = 298 ft^2
At the price of $2.00 per ft^2,
298 ft^2 x $2.00 /ft^2 = $596
