Answer:

She will need 218 square feet of carpeting and 66 feet of baseboards.

Explanation:

a) Zoe's mom room is formed by three figures: 2 rectangles and 1 triangle.

We will calculate the area of each of these figures and then add them up:

Area of rectangle 1 = (10) (11) = 110

Area of triangle = (12)(8)/2 = 96 / 2 = 48

Area of rectangle 2 = (6)(10) = 60

Total areas = 110 + 48 +60 = 218 square feet.

b) To know how many feet of baseboards she will need we need the perimeter of the room, we're going to sum up all the sides of the room:

Perimeter: 10 + 11 + 12 + 6 + 10 + 6 + 11 = 66 feet.

the complete question in the attached figure

we know that
[Area of her bedroom]=[11*10]+[12*8/2]+[10*6]------> 218 ft²

[perimeter of her bedroom]=[11+10+11]+[12]+[6+10+6]+[8]-------> 74 ft
