Kevin is installing a carpet in his home. The cost of the carpet he selected is $5 per square foot. How much will it cost to carpet a room that measures 34 feet by 21 feet?
34 * 21 * 5 = $_________
To calculate the cost of carpeting a room, we need to find the area of the room in square feet and then multiply it by the cost of the carpet per square foot.
First, let's calculate the area of the room. The room measures 34 feet by 21 feet.
To find the area of the room, multiply the length (34 feet) by the width (21 feet):
Area = Length × Width
Area = 34 feet × 21 feet
Area = 714 square feet
Now, let's calculate the cost of carpeting the room. The cost is $5 per square foot.
To find the total cost, multiply the area of the room (714 square feet) by the cost per square foot ($5):
Total Cost = Area × Cost per square foot
Total Cost = 714 square feet × $5
Total Cost = $3570
Therefore, it will cost $3570 to carpet a room that measures 34 feet by 21 feet with a carpet that costs $5 per square foot.
