Question

a flag has a total area of 42 square feet. a second flag has an area of 48 square feet. if the widths of both flags are each 6 feet ,what are the lengths explain

Answer 1

The formula for area can be written as follows:

area = length x width

Substitute the known values into this formula. In this case, we’ll start with the first flag:

42 = 6 x (length)

Then, divide 6 from both sides:

42/6 = length
7 = length

The length of the first flag is 7 feet. Now, we’ll move on to the second flag. Substitute:

48 = 6 x (length)

Divide 6 from both sides:

48/6 = length
8 = length

The length of the second flag is 8 feet.

Hope this helps!
