What is the formula for a rectangle?

A=length (width)

S = a * b

The room is 5.4 meters long and 4 7/8 meters wide.

a = 5.4

b= 4 +7/8

S= (54)(39)/10(8)

S=(27)(39)/(10)(4)

S=26.325 meters square

Therefore the 26.325 meters square yards of carpet

Perimeter of rectangle is

P = 2(a+b)

P=2*(54/10+39/8)

P=2*(216/40+195/40)

P=2*((216+195)/40)

P=216+195)/20

P=411/20

P=20.55 meters

Therefore, The 20.55 meters yards of the wallpaper border.
