Myrna is buying a new rug for her living room. It it spilt into 3 panels, as shown in the diagram. What is the area of the rug, in the square feet?

The answer is 96 square feet because if you look at the first rectangle (the one on the top left), you should multiply 5 times 6 which equals 30. (The reason you would do this is because you want to find the area of all of the rectangles first and then add them together in order to get the total area of the rug.) Then, you would look at the second rectangle (the one on the right), and you would multiply 8 times 6 which is 48. Next, you would look at the last rectangle (the one on the lower left) and multiply 6 times 3 which is 18. Finally, you have to add 30+48+18 and then you would get your final answer which is 96 square feet.
