Question

Kristen made sails for a model boat. She cut along the diagonal of a rectangular piece of cloth to make two sails, shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/3 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the area of the rectangle

A = l *w

   4 * 1 1/6

   4 * 7/6

  28/6

Divide this in half since the rectangle is cut in half by using the diagonal

28/6 *1/2

28/12

7/3

Changing to a mixed number

2 1/3
