Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 17,280 sq. inches

The area of the room in square inches would be found by taking the length of the room (10 feet) times the width (12 feet) and multiplying each of these by 12 (inches in a foot). (10 X 12)x(12 X 12)=17,280 square inches.

2. With a rectangular room with measurements of a length of 10ft, width of 12ft, and height of 10ft, what would the dimensions of the room be in cubic feet?

Answer: 1200

Like the square footage of a room, the cubic footage just takes the height into the equation, so is calculated as 10 X 12 X 10 = 1200.

3. Taking a rectangular room with measurements of a length of 10ft, width of 12ft, and height of 10ft, what is the surface area of the room in square feet?

Answer: 680

Surface area takes length times width plus length times height plus height times width and multiply each of these by two. 2(10 X 12) + 2(10 X 10) + 2(10 X 12) = 340

Answer: 36

The boards are 4 inches wide, so there are three boards in each foot of the floor. There are 12 feet of floor so take 3 X 12 and you get 36.

Answer: 3

There are 120 square feet of ceiling. If a bucket of paint covers 50 sqft, then they need 3. If they just buy 2 they still have 20 sqft unpainted.

Answer: 6

There are again 120 sqft. Therefore 120 divided by 20 = 6

Answer: 6

The square footage of the walls would be 440 sqft. If she buys 15 buckets she would have enough for 750 sqft. 6 X 50 = 300. 750 - 300 = 450. Therefore she would have 10 sqft of paint left over.

Answer: 110

First you must again find the square footage of the walls (440). Take this divided by 20 (the number of sqft each can covers). Next multiply this number by 5 (cost). The equation is 440 divided by 20 = 22.
22 X 5 = 110 dollars.

Answer: 73

There are many ways to solve this problem. One way which I will tell you is to add the square footage of the items and subtract it from 120 (the square footage of the room). 120-47=73

Answer: 16

The way to find this is the Pythagorean Theorem which is a squared plus b squared = c squared. 100 + 144 = 244. The square root of 244 is 15.6, so rounded it would be 16 ft. Thanks for playing.
