Gloria wants new carpet for her living room.The room is 15 ft wide and 20 ft long.
Which equation can be used to find C,the number of square geet of carpet she needs to cover the floor?
A.C=20x15
B.C=(2x20)+(2x15)
C.C=15+20
D.C=(15+20)x2
A?
Right.
The equation that can be used to find the number of square feet of carpet Gloria needs to cover the floor is A. C=20x15.
To determine the amount of carpet required, we need to find the area of the living room. The area of a rectangular room can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the room.
In this case, the length of the room is given as 20 ft and the width is given as 15 ft. Thus, the equation becomes C=20x15. By substituting the given values into the equation, we can find the answer. In this case, the answer would be C=300 square feet of carpet needed to cover the floor.
