S= 
\(\frac{54*39}{10*8}\)=\(\frac{27*39}{10*4}\)=26.325 meters ^ 2 - square yards of carpet
P = 2(a+b)=2
(54/10+39/8)=2(216/40+195/40)=2((216+195)/40)=
=216+195)/20=411/20=20.55 meters -  yards of wallpaper border

What is the formula for a rectangle?

A=length (width)

S = a b

The room is 5.4 meters long and 4 7/8 meters wide.

a = 5.4

b= 4 +7/8

S= (54)(39)/10(8)

S=(27)(39)/(10)(4)

S=26.325 meters square

Therefore the 26.325 meters square yards of carpet

Perimeter of rectangle is

P = 2(a+b)

P=2(54/10+39/8)

P=2(216/40+195/40)

P=2((216+195)/40)

P=216+195)/20

P=411/20

P=20.55 meters
