Question 1120519: Amnah needs to carpet room , the length of one wall is 40m . How much carpet does she need to cover the room
Answer by Theo(13342) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
he has the length of one wall which is assumed to be the length of the room.
he needs to know the width of the room as well.
then he can determine the amount of rug he needs, assuming the carpet will cover the whole floor.

area = length * width.

for example, if the room is 40 meters long and 20 meters wide, the amount of carpet he will need is 40 * 20 = 800 square meters.
