A room that is 5.1 yards long by 4.2 yards wise is to be carpeted. Calculate the area in square feet.?

Question

how do i do this problem. thanks

Answer 1

width x length = area....

Area = 5.1 yds x 4.2 yds = 21.42 sq yds...

There are 3 feet in each yard...

Therefore,

21.42 sq. yds x (3 feet / 1 yard) ^2 = 192.78 square feet

you square the (3 feet / 1 yard) because you have 21.42 sq. yds and so squaring the conversion will convert sq. yds. to square feet

Answer 2

First convert the measurements to yards (3ft per yard): 9ft = 3 yards 12ft = 4 yards Therefore the area is: 4 x 3 = 12 square yards Price is $9 per square yard therefore total price is: Total price = 9 x 12 = $108

Answer 3

Think of it this way 1 yard is 3 feet, so 1 square yard is 9 square feet (3x3).

Convert the yards to feet, then find the square footage.
5.1 yards =15.3 feet
4.2 yards = 12.6 feet

15.3 x 12.6 = 192.78

or mulitply to find the square yardage, then mulitply by 9 (3x3)

Answer 4

1 yard = 3 feet.

5.1 yards = 15.3 feet

4.2 yards = 12.6 feet

15.3 times 12.6 gives 192.78 square feet

OR

1 square yard = 9 square feet so:

5.1 times 4.2 gives 21.42 square yards

21.42 times 9 gives 192.78 square feet.

Answer 5

To find out the square foot you multiply Length by Width. So it would be 5.1 x 4.2

Answer 6

1 yard = 3 feet
So, 5.1 yards=15.3 feet and 4.2 yards=12.6 feet
The area is 15.3*12.6=192.78 square feet

Answer 7

5.1 square yards = 45.9 square feet & 4.2 square yards = 37.8 square ft

Total area = 1 735.02 square feet

enjoy!

Answer 8

192.78 sq. ft.

Convert yards to feet (1 yard = 3 feet)
Area = L X W or ((5.1 * 3) * (4.2 * 3)

Answer 9

5.1 yards X 4.2 yards = 21.42 square yards.
1 square yard = 9 square feet.
21.42 square yards = 192.78 square feet

Answer 10

i would say

5.1 x 3 = 15.3 (three feet in a yard)
4.2 x 3 = 12.6
15.3 x 12.6 = 192.8 square feet
