2. ANS:
Area: 20 sq. cm, Perimeter: 18 cm; Possible explanation: I multiplied 5 by 4 to find the area. To find
the perimeter I added the length and the width, then multiplied this answer by 2, in order to account
for both lengths and both widths.

ID: A
3. ANS:
a. area, square feet
b. area, square yards (or square feet)
c. perimeter, feet
d. The room is 3 yards (9 feet) by 4 yards (12 feet), so 3 × 4 = 12 square yards of carpet are needed
(108 square feet is also correct).
e. (9 + 12) × 2 = 42 feet of baseboard (Some students may argue for less than 42 feet-say, 39
feet-because of the door opening not needing baseboard. This is a reasonable answer as well.)
f. Possible answer: Two of the walls need 12 × 8 = 96 square feet of paint, two of the walls need 9
×8 = 72 square feet of paint, and the ceiling needs 12 × 9 = 108 square feet of paint, so there is
(96 ×2) + (72 ×2) + 108 = 444 square feet to cover. This would require 444 ÷ 350 = about 1.27
gallons of paint, so you would need 1 1 or 2 gallons (if the paint came only in full gallons).
