Jimbo's bedroom is 11 ft. by 11ft. The living room is twice the size of his bedroom. What is the difference in the area of Jimbo's bedroom and the living room.
11 x 11= 121
242 -121 = 121 is this right
11 x 11= 121
242 -121 = 121 is this right
You didn't answer my question, just restated the problem again.
I will assume you mean twice the width and twice the length
so the old area is 121 ft^2
the new room is 22 by 22 ft for an area of 484 ft^2
which of course 4 times the original area, so the difference is
484-121 ft^2 or 363 ft^2
