If Carly's bedroom is 15.3ft long and 8.7 ft long then it is necessary to multiply them because you need to find the area of the room so 15.3*8.7= 133.11. We have to do the same for Carter's room so we multiply 14.4 and 9.6 to find the area of the room which is 138.24.

Now that we have both the areas we can compare which room is bigger. Carly's room is 133.11 ft in total and Carter's room is 138.24 ft in total. So it is clear that Carter's room is going to be more expensive to cover with carpet since Carter's room is bigger than Carly's.

Carly:-

  • L=15.3
  • B=8.7

Area:-

  • LB
  • 15.3(8.7)
  • 133.11ft^2

#Carter

  • L=14.4
  • B=9.6

Area:-

  • 14.4(9.6)
  • 138.24ft^2

Carter's room is expensive
