Quadratics Question
1. A rectangular room has a 10 ft. by 8 ft. rug in the center such that
the rug has the same amount of space to the wall on all 4 sides. Find
the amount of space between the rug and the wall if the room has an
area of 288 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson : Area / Quadratics

Find the equation for area:

The room is 10ft. by 8ft. , therefore

Since the area of the room is 288ft.

We have to subtract the first area we found from 288ft.

Therefore, the amount of space between the rug and the wall is 208ft²

208 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rug = 80 ft^2.

Area of the space to the wall

= 288 - 80

= 208 ft^2.

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.
