Question

Viviana is ordering carpet

for 16 square rooms in a

hotel. Each room will need

100 square feet of

carpet. What is the

length of 1 room?

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of a room is 10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Rooms = 16$

$Carpet\ Area = 100ft^2$

Required

Determine the length of each room

Here, we'll assume that the carpet will cover each room completely.

If so:

$Carpet\ Area = Length * Length$

$100ft^2 = Length * Length$

$100ft^2 = Length^2$

Take square root of both sides

$\sqrt{100ft^2} = \sqrt{Length^2}$

$\sqrt{100ft^2} = Length$

Take positive square root

$10ft = Length$

$Length = 10ft$

Hence, the length of a room is 10ft
