Question

A brick is 3 1/2 inches wide by 8 inches long. How much area would this brick cover?​

Answer 1

Answer:

28 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is base (b) times height (h)

A=bh

A= 3.5 x 8

A = 28

Answer 2

Answer:

The brick will cover area of 28 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the brick = l = $3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2} inch$

Width of the brick = w = [te]8 inch[/tex]

Area covered by the brick = A

Area of rectangle = length × width

$A=\frac{7}{2}inch\times 8 inch=28 inch^2$

The brick will cover area of 28 square inches.
