What will it cost to carpet a room with indoor carpet if the room is 1 m wide and 0,02 m long? The carpet costs R 15,61 per cm ²
To calculate the cost of carpeting a room, we need to find the area of the room in square centimeters and then multiply it by the cost per square centimeter.
First, we need to convert the room dimensions from meters to centimeters:
Width = 1 m = 100 cm
Length = 0.02 m = 2 cm
Next, we calculate the area of the room:
Area = Width x Length = 100 cm x 2 cm = 200 cm²
Finally, we multiply the area by the cost per square centimeter:
Cost = Area x Cost per cm² = 200 cm² x R 15.61/cm²
The cost to carpet the room with indoor carpet will be R 3,122.
To calculate the cost of carpeting a room, we need to determine the area of the room and then multiply it by the cost per square unit.
1. Calculate the area of the room:
Area = width * length
Given:
Width = 1 m
Length = 0.02 m
Area = 1 m * 0.02 m = 0.02 square meters
2. Convert the area to square centimeters (cm²):
1 square meter = 10,000 square centimeters
Area in cm² = 0.02 square meters * 10,000 cm²/square meter = 200 cm²
3. Calculate the cost of carpeting:
Cost = area * cost per cm²
Given:
Cost per cm² = R 15.61
Cost = 200 cm² * R 15.61/cm²
The square centimeter unit cancels out, leaving us with the cost in currency (Rand):
Cost = 200 * 15.61 R = R 3,122
Therefore, it will cost R 3,122 to carpet the room with indoor carpet.
To calculate the cost of carpeting a room, we first need to determine the area of the room. The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is:
Area = Length x Width
Given that the room is 1 m wide and 0.02 m long, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Area = 1 m x 0.02 m
Area = 0.02 m²
Now, we can calculate the total cost by multiplying the area by the cost per square centimeter.
However, we need to convert the measurements from meters to centimeters because the cost is given in terms of square centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
So, the area in square centimeters would be:
0.02 m² x (100 cm/m)² = 200 cm²
Finally, we can calculate the total cost:
Total Cost = Area x Cost Per Square Centimeter
Total Cost = 200 cm² x R15.61/cm²
To calculate the total cost, we need to multiply the area by the cost per square centimeter:
Total Cost = 200 cm² × R15.61/cm²
Therefore, the total cost to carpet the room would be R3,122.
