1 answer

To calculate the amount of carpeting Marissa needs to order for her guest room, we need to know the dimensions of both the room and the closet area. However, you haven't provided the exact measurements for either.

If you can provide the dimensions of the room and the dimensions of the closet (length and width), I can help you calculate the square footage that Marissa needs to cover.

The general formula for the area in square feet is:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \]

  1. Calculate the area of the room.
  2. Calculate the area of the closet.
  3. Subtract the closet area from the room area if the carpet will not cover the closet.

Let me know the dimensions, and I can help calculate it!
