Answer:
16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ben’s living room is a rectangle measuring 10 yards x 168.
Question asked:
How many feet does the legs of the room exceed the width ?
Solution:
By applying unitary method:
Length of rectangle = 10 yards = 30 feet (1 yard = 3 feet)
(10 yard = [tex]3\times10 = 30)[/tex]
Breadth of rectangle = 168 inch = 14 feet (12 inch = 1 feet)
(1 inch = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex])
( 168 inch = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex][tex]\times168 = 14 feet)[/tex]
By subtracting the breadth from the length of rectangle,
30 feet - 14 feet = 16 feet
Therefore, by 16 feet, length of the room exceed the width.
