Answer:

Jason reasoning is incorrect

Jason should have calculated the perimeter of the room instead of calculating the area

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular bedroom is equal to

[tex]P=2(L+W)[/tex]

where

[tex]L=12\ ft\\W=14\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]P=2(12+14)[/tex]

[tex]P=52\ ft[/tex]

we have that

[tex]52\ ft < 75\ ft[/tex]

so

Jason has enough border for the whole job

therefore

Jason reasoning is incorrect

Jason should have calculated the perimeter of the room instead of calculating the area
