Which do you think is the best description of the area of the room? (circle your choice.)

a. The room's area is exactly 141.75 ft2.

b. The room's area is about 142 ft2. 2. Explain your choice:?

My vote would be b. because generally when we are figuring area of a room, we are working with materials that are not exact and we usually round off. 75 to the next foot. (I have experience in flooring!)

I am sure there are situations where you would want it to be exact however, such as using VERY expensive materials to cover.
