Kale is building a small basement suite. The bathroom takes up 1/3 of the suite and has an area of 12m2.
1. Draw the room and label all the areas
2. what are the possible dimensions of the bathroom?
3. what is the area of the rest of the suite without the bathroom?
4.what is the perimeter of the basement suite?
My Thinking:
For #2 I got 1x12, 6x2, 3x4,
I'll do #1 if I get help for the rest of the questions.
Please help ... thanks
2 cannot be answered, unless you know the shape. Is is oval, rectangular, circular? Is is L shaped?
its a rectangle.
your answers for #2 are right if your talking about a rectangle
Please help me on the other questions . thanks
Certainly! Let's breakdown each question step by step:
1. Drawing the room and labeling all the areas:
To visualize the basement suite, start by drawing a rectangle to represent the whole suite. Label it as "Basement Suite". Then, divide the rectangle into three equal parts to represent the bathroom, living area, and any other rooms.
2. Possible dimensions of the bathroom:
The question mentions that the bathroom has an area of 12m², but it does not specify the shape. So, we'll consider all possible dimensions.
Since the bathroom area is 1/3 of the suite, we can find its dimensions by multiplying the area (12m²) by 3. This gives us a total suite area of 36m².
Now, let's look at all possible dimensions for the bathroom:
- If the bathroom is a rectangle, it could have dimensions of 1m x 12m or 2m x 6m.
- If the bathroom is a square (which is also a rectangle), it could have dimensions of 3.464m x 3.464m (approximately).
3. Area of the rest of the suite without the bathroom:
To find the area of the remaining part of the suite without the bathroom, subtract the bathroom's area (12m²) from the total suite area (36m²).
So, the area of the rest of the suite is 36m² - 12m² = 24m².
4. Perimeter of the basement suite:
To find the perimeter of the basement suite, you need to know the dimensions of the entire suite or at least the length and width.
If you have the length and width of the suite, add up the lengths of all four sides to find the perimeter.
If you only have the dimensions of the bathroom, we can't calculate the exact perimeter of the entire suite. However, you could estimate the perimeter by assuming the living area and other rooms have similar dimensions and adding them to the perimeter of the bathroom.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.
