The measurements of a rectangular room are 13 feet by 132 inches.
We have to find the area of the room in square feet.
Area of rectangle with length 'l' and width 'w' is given by "[tex] l \times w [/tex]".
Since, length='13' feet and width= '132' inches.
So, we will convert the unit of inches into feet.
As 1 foot = 12 inches
So, 132 inches = [tex] \frac{132}{12} [/tex] feet = '11' feet
Area of rectangular room = [tex] 13 \times 11 [/tex]
= 143 square feet.
Tonya was incorrect because she evaluated the area of room without changing the dimensions. She found the area by [tex] 132 \times 13= 1716 [/tex] square feet. It is incorrect.
