Question

Steve's bedroom measures 12 feet by 13 feet. Ricardo's bedroom measures 8 feet by 14

feet. Assuming that both bedrooms are rectangular, whose room has the greater area?

Answer 1

Answer: Steve's bedroom has the greater area.

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for area is Area = Length x Width.

So all you have to do to figure this out is multiply the Width of the rooms by the length.

So Steve's room is 12ft X 13ft = 156ft

Ricardo's room is 8ft X 14ft = 112ft

156ft > 112ft

Steve's room has a greater area.
