To determine how much carpet is needed, we first need to figure out the total area that needs to be covered based on the dimensions provided. Assuming the dimensions of the figure are given by the lengths you've mentioned: 8 yards, 1 yard, 5 yards, and 5 yards.
If we assume these dimensions correspond to a geometric shape such as a rectangle, we would need more details, like how these dimensions are arranged. However, if we take the sum of the mentioned lengths, it appears that you want the total length for the carpet needed without knowing the actual area:
1. Add the lengths together:
- \(8 \text{ yards} + 1 \text{ yard} + 5 \text{ yards} + 5 \text{ yards} = 19 \text{ yards}\)
If you need to find the area (for example, if this represents a rectangle), we would need the arrangement of these lengths. For instance, if 8 yards and 5 yards are sides of a rectangle, the area would be:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 8 \text{ yards} \times 5 \text{ yards} = 40 \text{ square yards}
\]
To cover an area of \(40\) square yards, you would need \(40\) square yards of carpet.
Please clarify if you meant a specific rectangular arrangement or if the four values represent something else entirely, and I'll provide an exact answer!
