An L-shaped cabinet run has 11 linear feet on one wall and 8 linear feet on the other. A 3-foot appliance gap is excluded. How many linear feet of cabinets are installed?
Correct Answer
B) 16 linear feet.
The gross run is 11 + 8 = 19 linear feet. Subtracting a 3-foot appliance gap leaves 16 linear feet.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The gross run is 11 + 8 = 19 linear feet. Subtracting a 3-foot appliance gap leaves 16 linear feet.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 16.0 linear feet.
16.0 linear feet. is not aligned with the supported result for cabinet linear footage; it has the wrong label or classification even if the number looks close.
Option C: 19.0 linear feet.
19.0 linear feet. is above the supported result for cabinet linear footage; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: 22.0 linear feet.
22.0 linear feet. is above the supported result for cabinet linear footage; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
