TRANSCRIPT
Adrian wants to carpet two rectangular bedrooms. One bedroom measures 12 ft by 16 ft. The other measures 10 ft by 12 ft. How much carpet does Adrian need to buy?
1 What is the area of each room?
Area of rectangle = length × width
ft × ft = sq ft
ft × ft = sq ft
2 What is the total area?
Adrian needs to buy sq ft of carpet.
Example 1Berry bushes are being planted on a triangular piece of land to stop soil erosion. Each bush is planted in 1 sq yd of ground area. How many bushes are needed? (1 square represents 1 sq yd.)
SolutionWhat are the approximate dimensions of the triangle? A. Height: about yd Base: about yd
Area of triangle = B.
= sq yd
About berry bushes are needed.

Example 2Awet is a sheet metal specialist. He cut a piece of sheet metal in the shape of a parallelogram. Then he cut out a circle so that a 5 inch pipe can fi t through. What area of the shape remains, to the nearest square inch?
SolutionArea of parallelogram = base × heightA. in. × in. = sq in.
Area of circle = B. π × r 2 = sq in.
Area of remaining shape = Area of parallelogram – Area of circleC. sq in. – sq in. = sq in.

Example 3Beverly bought a square rug for her home offi ce. The label on the
rug says it covers 24012 sq ft. What are the dimensions of the rug?
SolutionHow can you use the formula for area of a square to calculate A. the length of a side?
length of side = sArea of a square = s2
sq ft = s2
√ sq ft = s, so s = ft

Example 2Angie is re-shingling a roof with two sides. Each side is rectangular with a skylight in the shape of a regular hexagon as shown. One bundle of shingles covers 2.25 m2. How many bundles of shingles are needed?
SolutionWhat is the area to be shingled? A. Area of shingles = area of rectangles – area of skylights
Area of rectangles: ft × ft × 2 = sq ft
Area of skylights (2 regular hexagons)
= [ × area of triangles] × 2
= [ × ( )] × 2
= sq ft
Area of shingles: sq ft – sq ft = sq ft
How many bundles of shingles are needed? B. 1 bundle covers 2.25 m2, and 1 m2 =̇ 10.76 sq ft, so
m2 × sq ft/m2 covers about sq ft
sq ft ÷ sq ft =̇
