Question

chase is buying materials to install carpet in a conference room. he is given this floor plan. which statement is true? office building floor plan 36 12x8 12x12 conference room 12x12 48 12x5 12x12 12x12 12 a) chase cannot determine all of the information he needs to buy materials. b) chase needs to calculate the perimeter of the conference room. c) chase needs to calculate the length of the conference room. d) chase needs to calculate the height of the conference room.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze carpet installation needs

To buy carpet, Chase needs the area of the conference room. Let's check each option.

Step2: Evaluate Option A

The floor plan has dimensions (like 36, 48, 12x12, 12x8, 12x6). We can calculate the area of the conference room by subtracting areas of other sections from the total (or using the given dimensions to find its length/width). So he can determine the needed info. A is false.

Step3: Evaluate Option B

Carpet is about covering the floor (area), not perimeter. Perimeter is for fencing or borders, not carpet. B is false.

Step4: Evaluate Option C

The conference room's length: From the floor plan, the total width is 36, and other sections (like the 12 - unit wide areas) are present. We need to calculate the length (or remaining dimension) of the conference room to find its area. This makes sense.

Step5: Evaluate Option D

Height is for volume (like paint for walls/ceiling), but carpet is for the floor (area), so height isn't needed. D is false.

Answer:

C) Chase needs to calculate the length of the conference room.
