jumbo's bedroom is 11ft. by 11ft. THe living room is twice the size of his bedroom. What is the difference in the area Jimbo's bedroom and the living room? 11x 11 =121
What does "twice the size" mean?
Is it twice the area or twice the measure of the sides?
Jimbo's bedroom is 11 ft. by 11ft. The living room is twice the size of his bedroom. What is the difference in the area of Jimbo's bedroom and the living room.
11 x 11= 121
242 -121 = 121 is this right
You didn't answer my question, just restated the problem again.
I will assume you mean twice the width and twice the length
so the old area is 121 ft^2
the new room is 22 by 22 ft for an area of 484 ft^2
which of course 4 times the original area, so the difference is
484-121 ft^2 or 363 ft^2
To find the area of Jumbo's bedroom, you correctly multiplied the length (11ft) by the width (11ft), resulting in an area of 121 square feet.
To determine the area of the living room, twice the size of Jumbo's bedroom, you need to multiply the area of the bedroom (121 sq ft) by 2. So, 121 sq ft x 2 = 242 sq ft.
Now, to calculate the difference in area between the two spaces, you subtract the area of Jumbo's bedroom from the area of the living room.
242 sq ft (living room) - 121 sq ft (bedroom) = 121 sq ft.
Therefore, the difference in area between Jumbo's bedroom and the living room is 121 square feet.
