Question

Part A. Jose painted a square shaped mural. The length of each side of the canvas is 1 1/3 yards. What is the area of the mural is square yards?
Part B. Lori painted a rectangular mural with the same area as Jose mural. Her mural is not square shaped.
What could be the demensions of Lori's mural, in yards?
Length=______ yards
Width=_______ yards

Answer 1

A. Its a square. This means each side times the side would give us the area (s^2)
4/3^2 or 1.3333 x 1.33333 = 16 / 9 area.

B. Really just pick any numbers you want.
16 yards long and 1/9 wide.
As long as they multiply to 16/9

Answer 2

Answer:

A). Area of mural = $1\frac{5}{9}\:yards^2$

B). length = $\frac{8}{9}\:yard$

    width = 2 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

A).

Length of Side of Square shaped mural = $1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\:yards$

Area of mural = side × side = $\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{4}{3}$

                       = $\frac{16}{9}=1\frac{5}{9}\:yards^2$

B).

Area of rectangular mural = $\frac{16}{9}\:yards^2$

Area of rectangle is given as = length × width

Means length and width can be any no whose product equals to $\frac{16}{9}$

one pair of such a number is as follows,

length = $\frac{8}{9}\:yard$

width = 2 yards
