The cost to carpet a rectangular floor measuring 27 feet by 15 feet is $1269

Information about the problem:

  • Length = 27 ft
  • Width = 15 ft
  • Cost per square yard= $28.20 / yard^2
  • 1 yard^2 = 9 ft^2

The formula and procedure to solve this geometry exercise is:

A(rectangle) = length * width

A(rectangle) = 27 ft * 15 ft

A(rectangle) = 405 ft^2

By converting the area from ft^2 to yard^2, we have:

405 ft^2 * (1 yard^2 / 9 ft^2) = 45 yard^2

Calculating the cost to carpet a rectangular floor:

Cost = A(rectangle) * cost per square yard

Cost = 45 yard^2 * $28.20/ yard^2

Cost = $1269

What is the area?

Is the measure of the space occupied by a body bounded by an environment called perimeter, the same is expressed in units of squared side. Example: ft^2, m^2
