  1. A room is 14 feet by 8 feet. If carpet costs $2 per square foot, what is the total cost to carpet the room?

    Answer: $224

    Area = 14 × 8 = 112 square feet; cost = 112 × $2 = $224.

  2. A square parking space has a perimeter of 48 feet. What is the length of one side?

    Answer: 12 feet

    A square has 4 equal sides, so each side = 48 ÷ 4 = 12 feet.

  3. A rectangular evidence room has an area of 96 square feet and a width of 8 feet. What is its length?

    Answer: 12 feet

    Length = area ÷ width = 96 ÷ 8 = 12 feet.

  4. Two rectangular zones, each 10 feet by 6 feet, must be searched. What is their combined area?

    Answer: 120 square feet

    Each zone = 10 × 6 = 60 sq ft; two zones = 120 square feet.

  5. A barricade forms an equilateral triangle with each side measuring 11 feet. What is its perimeter?

    Answer: 33 feet

    Perimeter = 3 × 11 = 33 feet since all three sides are equal.

  6. A rectangular field is 30 yards long and 20 yards wide. What is its area in square yards?

    Answer: 600 square yards

    Area = 30 × 20 = 600 square yards.
