Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.144m2. take the square root of that to find the length of one side of the room

b. this is basically asking for the perimeter. since you have one side of the room, you can find the perimeter now by multiplying one side by 4, because a square has 4 equal sides. 12 times 4 is 48m

c. each piece of the baseboard is 2.5m, you need 48 m of baseboard. divide  48/2.5 to get your answer. 19.2 pieces of baseboard, or 20 if you want to get technical
