Answer:

c) 282.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula we use,

A = L × W

The area of one floor will be,

→ 12 1/2 × 10

→ 25/2 × 10

→ 250/2

→ 125 ft²

The area of another floor will be,

→ 15 3/4 × 10

→ 63/4 × 10

→ 630/4

→ 157.5 ft²

Total area of the new carpet is,

→ 125 + 157.5

→ 282.5 ft²

Hence, the total area is 282.5 ft².
