STEP 1:
find the square area of the bedroom

Square Area= a^2

= (3.5 yards)^2
remember squaring a number is the same as multiplying the number by itself

= 3.5 * 3.5
= 12.25 yards^2


STEP 2:
calculate the cost; multiply square yards from step 1 by the cost per square yard ($16)

= 12.25 * $16
= $196 total


ANSWER: It will cost $196 to cover 12.25 yards^2.

Hope this helps! :)
