The rug will fit on the floor of her room

Step-by-step explanation:

The floor's area is given as 108

Will the rug fit this area of 108 sq. ft.? We have to find the area of the rug and if it is less than 108, then definitely it will fit.

The rug is in the shape of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width.

Given length 10 and width 6, the area is:

Area of Rectangle = 10 * 6 = 60

Area of Rug = 60

Is 60 less than 108? Yes, definitely!

The rug will fit on the floor of her room
