How to Calculate Carpet Area and Cost
- Carpet Area:
\text{Carpet Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} - Total Cost:
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Carpet Area} \times \text{Cost per Unit Area}
Example:
Imagine you are carpeting a 15 ft x 12 ft room with carpet priced at $5 per square foot.
- Calculate Carpet Area:
\text{Carpet Area} = 15 \, \text{ft} \times 12 \, \text{ft} = 180 \, \text{sq ft} - Calculate Total Cost:
\text{Total Cost} = 180 \, \text{sq ft} \times 5 \, \text{\$/sq ft} = 900 \, \text{\$}
So, you’ll need 180 sq ft of carpet, costing you $900.
