Question

One wall in Sophia's bedroom is 14 ft wide and 8 ft high. A door on the wall is 6 ft high and 4 ft wide. How much wallpaper will she need to cover the wall (excluding the door)?

A) 88 square feet
B) 112 square feet
C) 120 square feet
D) 96 square feet

Answer 1

B) 112 square feet. The amount of wallpaper needed to cover the wall (excluding the door) is 112 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of wallpaper needed to cover the wall (excluding the door), we need to find the area of the wall. The formula to find the area of a rectangle is length times width. In this case, the dimensions of the wall are 14 ft wide and 8 ft high, so the area of the wall is 14 ft * 8 ft = 112 square feet.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 112 square feet.
