A living room measures 24 feet by 15 feet. An adjacent square dinning room measures 13 feet on each side. If carpet costs $6.98 per square foot, what is the total cost of putting carpet in both rooms?

Answer 1

area = 24 * 15 + 13*13 = 360 + 169 = 529 ft^2
cost = 529 ft^2 * $ 6.98 / ft^2 = $3692.42
Yikes!
