I will give try to give branliest whoever gives an answer, equation, and step-by-step explanations. (don't give a wrong answer please)

Answer 2

Answer:

about 28.789yds^2 of carpet, and 16.2yds^2 of wall paper depending on the height of the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

for the area of a rectangle, it is length multiplied by the width.

therefore you would multiply 5.4 by 4 7/8 to get 26.325 m^2.

However for the wallpaper you would need the height of the walls.

the average home is about 9 feet which would be about 2.7432 meters.

with that information I would do the following:

2.7432 * 5.4 = 14.81328 (this would give you one wall, to get the wall on the other side of the room just multiply this by 2 because there are two walls with these measurements.)

2.7432 * 4 7/8 =13.3731. once again multiply by two.

add these numbers together and you will have the total amount of wallpaper needed.

(13.3731 * 2) + (14.81328 * 2)= 56.37276m^2

Don't forget to change Meters to yards!

this may sound complicated, but once you understand it it actually becomes fun.
