Answer:

The Answer is: 1) 6.25 square feet. 2) Cost $75.00 of carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is 122 inches. Let l be length and w be width:

2l + 2w = 122

The width is given as 25 inches:

2l + 2(25) = 122

2l + 50 = 122

2l = 72

l = 36

Area is equal to the length times the width:

a = l * w

a = 36 * 25

a =  900 square inches

Divide by 144 square inches to get square feet:

900 / 144 = 6.25 square feet.

Multiply the amount per square foot times the total cost:

$12.00 * 6.25 = $75.00

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
