Question

Pls help! Geometry What is the area of the new rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladybug is $3.3cm$ far from each edge of the rectangle, it follows that the length of the new rectangle is $3.3cm+9.5cm + 3.3cm = 16.1cm$ and the width is $3.3cm+7.5cm + 3.3cm = 14.1cm$.

Recall a formula for the area of a rectangle: $A = l \cdot w$, where $l$ is a length and $w$ is a width of the rectangle.

Substitute $l=16.1cm$ and $w=14.1cm$ into the formula:

$A=16.1cm\cdot 14.1cm$

Multiply the numbers:

$A=$ $227.01cm^{2}$

Therefore, the required area is equal to $227.01cm^{2}$.
