Calculating Area of a House

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the square footage of a house both with and without a garage. It begins by introducing the area formula for rectangles, which is length times width. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the area of the house without the garage by subtracting the areas of smaller rectangles from a larger one. Finally, it shows how to add the area of the garage to find the total square footage of the house with the garage included.

What is the first step in determining the square footage of a house?

• Determine the area of the floor space

• Count the number of rooms

• Calculate the volume of the house

• Measure the height of the house

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a rectangle?

• Length divided by width

• Length minus width

• Length times width

• Length plus width

What is the length of the longer side of the blue rectangle?

• 30 feet

• 40 feet

• 22 feet

• 46 feet

How do you calculate the area of the house without the garage?

• Multiply the length and width of the garage

• Divide the total area by the number of rooms

• Subtract the areas of small rectangles from the large rectangle

• Add the areas of all small rectangles

What is the area of the small orange rectangle?

• 48 square feet

• 192 square feet

• 1380 square feet

• 1140 square feet

What is the total area of the house without the garage?

• 396 square feet

• 192 square feet

• 1140 square feet

• 1380 square feet

How is the area of the house with the garage calculated?

• Divide the house area by the garage area

• Subtract the garage area from the house area

• Multiply the garage area by the house area

• Add the garage area to the house area

What is the area of the garage?

• 396 square feet

• 1140 square feet

• 1380 square feet

• 192 square feet

What is the total square footage of the house including the garage?

• 1380 square feet

• 1536 square feet

• 1140 square feet

• 192 square feet

What is the final step in the example?

• Add more rooms to the house

• Subtract the garage area from the total

• Verify the total square footage

• Recalculate the area of the garage
