You plan to replace the carpeting in the room shown below. What is the area of the room?
The rectangular portion has a length measuring 18 feet and a width measuring 9 feet.
The trapezoidal section has a short base of 3 feet and a height of 6 feet. The long base of the trapezoid is attached along the width of the rectangle.
The area of the room is 153 square feet.
Rectangle area = 18 x 9 = 162 square feet
Trapezoid area = (3 + 9) x 6 / 2 = 45 square feet
Total area = 162 + 45 = 207 square feet
