Question 414736: Angela wants to purchase carpeting for her living room. The dimensions of her living room are 12 feet by 12 feet. If carpeting is sold by the squard yard, determine how many square yards of carpeting she must purchase. (3feet= 1yard)
(9squarefeet=1square yard) Answer by praseenakos@yahoo.com(507) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First find the area of the floor
Area = length X width
length = 12 feet = yards = 4 yards
width = 12 feet = 4 yards
==> area = square yards = 16 square yds
==> Required carpet = 16 square yards..
