Sides of three square rooms measure 14 feet each, and sides of two square rooms measure 17 feet each. Which expression shows the total area of these five rooms?

Respuesta :

3(14²) + 2(17²) 
the area of each square room with 14 feet is 196

196 times 3 is 588

the area of each square room with 17 feet is 289

289 times 2 is 578

so the total is 1166

Answer:

The total area of the five rooms is 1166 feet² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Area of square = a²

Where a is the side of the square .

As given

Sides of three square rooms measure 14 feet each, and sides of two square rooms measure 17 feet each.

Total area = Area of three square rooms + Area of two square rooms

                  = 3 × 14× 14 + 2 × 17 × 17

                  = 588 + 578

                  = 1166 feet²

Therefore the total area of the five rooms is 1166 feet² .
