Question 855436: Shannon wants to carpet a rectangular room.
The room measures 12 feet, 6 inches long by 9 feet, 9 inches wide.
There is a rectangular area near the door, measuring 2 feet by 3 feet, that she will not carpet.
What is the area of the floor Shannon will carpet? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The total area is 12.5' by 9.75'.
12.5 * 9.75 = 121.875 sf
.
The area that she doesn't want to carpet is 2 * 3, or 6
.
Take the total area and subtract the non-carpet area.
121.875 - 6 = 115.875 square feet
