Question

A rectangular room 5.6m*4.8m is to be carpeted with a carpet 80cm wide. find the length of the carpet required

Answer 1

5.6*4.8=26.88 m = 2688 cm
2688/80= 33.6 
so the length of the carpet would be 33.6 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, Length of the carpet = 3360 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangular room = 5.6 m

Breadth of rectangular room = 4.8 m

Area = Length × Breadth

Area = 5.6 × 4.8

Area = 26.88 m²

Now, breadth of carpet = 80 cm = 0.8 m

Since, room is to be carpeted with the carpet

⇒ Area of room = Area of carpet

⇒ 26.88 = Length × 0.8

⇒ Length = 33.6 m

Hence, Length of the carpet = 3360 cm
