Example Question #91 : Quadrilaterals

Tim's mom wants to put new tiles in their kitchen. She bought enough tiles to fit a 420 square foot room. Tim measures the size of the kitchen and finds that one wall is feet long and the other wall is feet long. Has his mom purchased enough tiles to complete the entire floor in the kitchen? In your answer, include the square footage of the kitchen, according to Tim's measurements.

Possible Answers:

$\textup{Yes, the area of the kitchen is 420 square feet.}$

$\textup{No, the area of the kitchen is 437 square feet}.$

$\textup{Yes, the area of the kitchen is 84 square feet.}$

$\textup{No, the area of the kitchen is 448 square feet.}$

$\textup{Yes, the area of the kitchen is 417 square feet.}$

Correct answer:

$\textup{No, the area of the kitchen is 437 square feet}.$

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length times the width.

$\textup{Area} = \textup{l} \times \textup{w}$

Tim measured the kitchen and found the two walls to be ft. and ft. To find the area we need to plug those numbers into our formula:

$\textup{Area} = 19 \times 23$

$\textup{Area} = 437 \textup{ square feet}$

We know that Sam's mother only ordered enough tiles to fill a 420 square foot room, so she does NOT have enough tiles to fill the kitchen.
