An apartment complex has a floor plan with the dimensions shown. To effectively air condition a room, 20BTU's (British Thermal Units) are required for every square foot. Determine the minimum BTU's required for an air conditioner to cool the room effectively. Round the answer to the nearest 100 BTU's.

NB: You did not provide the diagram that contains the dimensions of the floor plan. Hypothetical values will be assumed for the dimension of the floor plan, you can substitute your own dimensions for the question

The minimum BTU required for an air conditioner to effectively cool a room of dimension 15 ft × 20 ft is 600 BTU

Explanation:

The value of the BTU (British Thermal Unit) indicates the cooling power of the air conditioner

From the question, 20 BTU is required for 1 square foot

Assumption: Dimension of the floor plan 15 ft × 20 ft

Area of the floor plan = length * Width

Area of the floor plan = 300 ft²

20 BTU = 1  ft²

x BTU = 300 ft²

x * 1 = 300 * 20

x = 6000 BTU

Therefore, the minimum BTU required for an air conditioner to effectively cool a room of dimension 15 ft × 20 ft is 600 BTU
