Do you have a picture of the carpet?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Well since it is an L shape, we can draw it out, and split it into two figures. |dw:1420346069790:dw|

|dw:1420346103978:dw| Now you can find the area of the two figures (which are rectangles in my example) then add them together

sammixboo (sammixboo):

And that is your area
