The area of carpet required to be bought for the living room is 127.75 square feet.

Rectangle:

  • It is a quadrilateral with equal opposite sides and all angles are right angles.
  • Area of the rectangle = length × width

    Length, L = 12' 2" = 146"
    Width, B = 10' 6" = 126"
  • Area of Carpet required = Area of Room = L × B
    ∴ A = 146 × 126
