  5.055 m by 13.055 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the room in meters. Then the length is x+8 meters, and the room area is ...

  A = LW = (x+8)(x) = 2(rug area)

  x^2 +8x = 2(3)(11) = 66

Completing the square, we have ...

  x^2 +8x +16 = 82

  (x +4)^2 = 82

  x = -4 ±√82 ≈ {-13.055, +5.055}

The magnitudes of these dimensions are the dimensions of the room:

  √82 ± 4 = {5.055, 13.055} . . . meters

Therefore, the room is 5.055 × 13.055 meters.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
