The size of a bathroom is 96 sq ft. If the width of the bathroom is 8 feet and the owner wants to extend it by 2 feet on each side, what is the new area of the bathroom?
The original length of the bathroom is 96 sq ft/8 ft = <T>divide(96, 8)=12.0 ft
The new length of the bathroom is 12ft + 2 ft = <T>add(12, 2)=14 ft
The new width of the bathroom is 8 ft + 2 ft = <T>add(8, 2)=10 ft
The new area of the bathroom is 14ft x 10 ft = <T>multiply(14, 10)=140 sq ft
