QQ.Carpeting costs Rs.30.75 per square foot. How much will it cost to carpet a floor that measures 16ft x 282​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Carpeting costs Rs.30.75 per square foot. How much will it cost to carpet a floor that measures 16 ft x 282 ft?

To find:

How much will it cost to carpet a floor that measures 16 ft x 282 ft?

Solution:

We know,

$\boxed{\bold{Area \:of\:a\:rectangle = length \times breadth}}$

Areaofarectangle=length×breadth

The dimensions of the floor:

• Length = 282 ft
• Breadth = 16 ft

∴ The area of the floor = length × breadth = 282 × 16 = 4512 ft²

Now,

If the cost of carpeting 1 ft² of the floor = Rs. 30.75

Then,

The cost of carpeting 4512 ft² of the floor is,

= Rs. 30.75/ft² × 4512 ft²

= Rs. 138744

Thus, it will cost Rs. 138744 to carpet a floor that measures 16 ft x 282 ft.
