Carly is laying a square carpet in the hallway at her house. The carpet has a side length of 5.87 feet. Estimate the area of the carpet A.) 5 ft^2B.) 6 ft^2C.) 25 ft ^2D.) 36 ft^2

Respuesta :

The length of one side of the square carpet is 5.87 ft. Given a square of length L, the area can be calculated as:

For our carpet, L = 5.87 ft, so the area is:

[tex]A=(5.87\text{ ft})\cdot(5.87\text{ ft})=34.4569ft^2[/tex]

The nearest value from the options is 36 ft².
