Answer 1

The area of the news paper which fits in the bottom of the Amile's cage is 280 square inches

Explanation:

• The area is said to be the product of the two sides ( length an breadth ) of the rectangle.
• The volume is said to be the product of the length, breadth and height of the cage.
• Here the height and volume are given in the square inches.
• volume = L* B *H = 7280 Square inches whereas height is 26 inches.
• AREA =  L* B = by bringing the height in divide with volume we can obtain the L* B value which is said to be the value of the height .
