Answer:
19.32 m²
Explanation:
The area of a living room is the product of its length and breadth. The area is given by:
Area = length × breadth
1 meter = 3.28 feet. Hence:
Length = 16 ft
16 ft = [tex]16\ ft*\frac{1\ m}{3.28\ ft} =4.88\ m[/tex]
Breadth = 13 ft
13 ft = [tex]13\ ft*\frac{1\ m}{3.28\ ft} =3.96\ m[/tex]
Area = length × breadth = 4.88 m × 3.96 m = 19.32 m²
Hence 19.32 m² of carpet is needed for the living room
