a square carpet covers 60% of the floor area the room is 5m by 5m what are the dimensions of the carpet

5x5=25 sq ft

carpet covers=25*.6=15sqft
dimensions= sqrt15 * sqrt15 will do it.

Given-The dimensions of the room equal to 5m.And the carpet covers 60% of the area of the room.

Soln-That is area of the room is 25sq.m
That gives,
60% of room = 60÷100(25)
=15 sq.m
That's the dimension of carpet is 15m

To find the dimensions of the carpet, we need to calculate its area first.

1. Start by finding the area of the room:
Area = Length × Width
Area = 5m × 5m
Area = 25 square meters

2. Next, calculate 60% of the room's area, which represents the area covered by the carpet:
Carpet Area = 0.6 × Room Area
Carpet Area = 0.6 × 25 square meters
Carpet Area = 15 square meters

Since the carpet is square, we can assume the length and width are the same. Let's call the length/width of the carpet "x."

3. Set up an equation to represent the area of the carpet:
x^2 = Carpet Area
x^2 = 15 square meters

4. Solve for x by taking the square root of both sides of the equation:
x = √15 meters

Therefore, the dimensions of the carpet are approximately x = √15 meters by x = √15 meters.
