When measuring the height, length, width and depth of an object you are measuring its dimension or volume (sometimes referred to as its space). When measuring the dimension of an object such as a room size, the dimension is two dimensional. This means you are measuring two areas such as the length of the room and the width of the room. When you do this you will find the square foot of the room.

If I wanted to buy hardwood floors for my living room and the living room is 18 feet long and 13 feet wide and the price per square foot is $11.75, how much will the hardwood floor cost me?
$234.00
$2,749.50
$364.25
$245.72
Your two dimensions are 18 feet long and 13 feet wide so we multiply 18 x 13 = 234. The living room contains 234 square feet. The price of the hardwood floor is $11.75 per square foot so now we have to multiply 234 by 11.75 so, 234 x 11.75 = 2,749.50. Answer (b) is correct as the cost of the hardwood floor would be $2,749.50

75 feet
50 feet
8 feet 3 inches
300 feet
You only have one dimension to work with here but you know that dimension is 25 yards. There are three feet in 1 yard so we multiply the yards by feet or 25 x 3 = 75. The cave is 75 feet deep. Answer (a) is the correct answer
