Answer: x intercept : (3/2 , 0)
y intercept: (0, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield:
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2
The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.
Yes, that's correct. All you do is add the two numbers together and then divide by 2!
