Larry wants to buy some carpeting for his living room the length of the room is 4 times the width and the total area of the room is 16 square meters what is the length of the living room?

Length (L) equals 4 x Width (W)

Area (A) is equal to L x W and is equal to 16m2

We have two equations

(1) L = 4W

(2) A = L x W

Since we know A = 16 (m2) we have two unknowns (L and W)

Algebraic substitution of equation (1) into equation (2) gives us

(3) A = 4W x W

replacing 16m2 for A

(4) 16 = 4W x W

Simplification

(5) 16 = 4 W^2

(6) 16/4 = W^2

(7) 4 = W^2

Take the square root

(8) 2 = W

using the solution for W in equation (1)

(9) L = 4 x W

(10) L = 4 x 2

(11) L = 8

Check work using equation (2)

A = L x W

A = 8 x 2

A = 16

Improved answer:

Let the unknown length and width be 4x and x respectively:

4x*x = 16

4x2 = 16. Divide both sides by 4:

x2 = 4. Square root both sides:

x = 2

Therefore: length = 8 meters and width = 2 meters

How many square yards of carpet are needed to cover a floor that is 9 feet by 10 feet?

10 square yards. Note, the amount of carpet you have to pay for may actually be more than 10 square yards as you will have to buy the entire width of the roll * the length you need. Assuming it is 12' wide you would need 12 square yards and if its 15' wide you would need 15 yards. No carpet store sells carpet by what you need but only by what the width of the roll is. So if you need a 10 x 9 piece, the carpet only comes 12 foot wide so you would take home a piece of carpet 12 x 9.

How many square yards of carpet are needed to carpet a room that is 15 ft long and 20 ft wide?

A rectangular room 15 ft long and 20 ft wide has an area of 15 X 20 = 300 square feet. There are nine square feet per square yard; therefor the answer is 300/9 = 33+ square yards. At least 34 square yard units will therefore be needed.

Area of the carpet = 13.2 yd x 297.4 yd = 3,925.68 yd2

If you have 200 squares of carpet and each measures one square foot do you have enough squares to carpet a room that is 12 feet by 15 feet?

What is the square yard of a room 15ftx15ft?

Why ground floor height is more then 1st floor?

There are lots of reasons this may be true. I suspect the biggest reason is that somewhere on that floor is the heating and cooling equipment, water heating, etc. and the ceiling height is necessary for that equipment. If this is true then you also have the bulk of your ducts, water pipes, etc. in the ceiling of the ground floor and these are often run between an artificial drop ceiling and the actual structural ceiling.
