Answer

(i) Finding missing measurements:

The total width of the house = 44 ft.

The top portion of the house contains: Master Bedroom, Toilet, Kitchen and Utility (placed side by side).

For Utility:

Area of Utility = 77 sq. ft, Height = 11 ft (same as Kitchen)

Width of Utility = AreaHeight\dfrac{\text{Area}}{\text{Height}} = 7711\dfrac{77}{11} = 7 ft

So, Utility dimensions = 7 ft × 11 ft.

For Toilet:

Width of Toilet = Total width - (Master Bedroom width + Kitchen width + Utility width)

= 44 - (13 + 18 + 7)

= 44 - 38

= 6 ft

Height of Toilet = 11 ft (same as Kitchen and Utility)

So, Toilet dimensions = 6 ft × 11 ft.

Area of Toilet = 6 × 11 = 66 sq. ft.

For Hall:

Width of Hall = 24 ft

Height of Hall = 16 ft (same as Master Bedroom)

So, Hall dimensions = 24 ft × 16 ft.

Area of Hall = 24 × 16 = 384 sq. ft.

For Garden:

Width of Garden = Total width - (Small Bedroom width + Hall width)

= 44 - (13 + 24)

= 44 - 37

= 7 ft

Height of Garden = 16 ft (same as Hall)

So, Garden dimensions = 7 ft × 16 ft.

Area of Garden = 7 × 16 = 112 sq. ft.

For Small Bedroom:

Small Bedroom dimensions = 13 ft × 11 ft.

Area of Small Bedroom = 13 × 11 = 143 sq. ft.

The missing measurements are:

  • Toilet: 6 ft × 11 ft, Area = 66 sq. ft
  • Utility: 7 ft × 11 ft, Area = 77 sq. ft
  • Hall: 24 ft × 16 ft, Area = 384 sq. ft
  • Garden: 7 ft × 16 ft, Area = 112 sq. ft
  • Small Bedroom: 13 ft x 11 ft, Area = 143 sq. ft

(ii) Total area of the house:

Total length of the house = Master Bedroom height + Small Bedroom height = 16 + 11 = 27 ft

Total width of the house = 44 ft

Total area of the house = length × width

= 44 × 27

= 1188 sq. ft

Hence, the total area of the house (including the Garden) is 1188 sq. ft.
