Find the area of the bedroom in square feet of 11' x 13' 10"
L = 11
w = 13'10" = 13.83'
A = Lw
A = 11 * 13.83
A = ? sq ft
A wall in Marcus bedroom is 8 1/3 feet high and 16 1/5 feet long. If he paints 1/3 of the wall blue, how many square feet will be blue?
To find the area of the bedroom, we need to multiply the length and width measurements together.
First, let's convert the measurements to the same unit. We can convert the 11 feet into inches since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Multiplying 11 by 12 gives us 132 inches.
Now, let's convert the inches to the same fractional measurement as the 13 feet 10 inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can convert the 13 feet 10 inches into 13.833 feet by dividing the 10 inches by 12.
Now we have the measurements in the same unit: 132 inches and 13.833 feet.
To find the area, we multiply these measurements together:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 132 inches x 13.833 feet
Before multiplying, it's important to convert the measurements to the same unit. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can convert the 13.833 feet to inches. Multiplying 13.833 by 12 gives us 166 inches.
Now, we can multiply the converted measurements to find the area:
Area = 132 inches x 166 inches
Area = 21,912 square inches
To convert square inches to square feet, we divide the square inches measurement by 144 (since 1 square foot is equal to 144 square inches):
Area = 21,912 square inches ÷ 144
Area ≈ 152.17 square feet
Therefore, the area of the bedroom is approximately 152.17 square feet.
