Which do you think is the best description of the area of the room? (circle your choice.) a. the room's area is exactly 141.75 ft2 . b. the room's area is about 142 ft2 . 2. explain your choice: ?

My vote would be b. because generally when we are figuring area of a room, we are working with materials that are not exact and we usually round off .75 to the next foot. (I have experience in flooring!)

I am sure there are situations where you would want it to be exact however, such as using VERY expensive materials to cover.
