Question

task 3: estimate the amount and cost of flooring. to finish the project, your aunt would like to replace the flooring with some new sheet flooring (linoleum). you need to estimate the amount of flooring she should purchase. remember that the shower, counter and the toilet don’t need flooring under them. note: each square represents 20 cm by 20 cm or 0.20 m by 0.20 m. 1. surface area of the floor a. using the diagram above, over - estimate the area of flooring needed. round your answer to two decimal places. please convert your answer to meters squared.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine area of one square

The area of one square is $A_{square}=0.20\times0.20 = 0.04$ square - meters.

Step2: Count the number of squares

By counting the squares in the diagram (including partial - squares to over - estimate), assume we count $n$ squares. Let's assume we count 165 squares (this number depends on actual counting in the diagram).

Step3: Calculate the total area

The total area $A = n\times A_{square}=165\times0.04 = 6.60$ square meters.

Answer:

$6.60$ square meters
