Question

Caeli is designing a flag that will be in the shape of a rectangle. She has 10 square feet of fabric to use, and she wants the height of the flag to be 2.5 feet. What is the base of the flag if she will use all of the fabric she has? 12.5 ft 7.5 ft 5 ft 4 ft

Answer 1

Answer:

If Caeli  will use all of the fabric she has, the base of the flag should be of 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to answer the question correctly:

Area of the fabric Caeli  has and want to use and design = 10 square feet

Height of the rectangle of the rectangle shape = 2.5 feet

2.  What is the base of the flag if she will use all of the fabric she has?

Area of the shape of the rectangle = Height of the flag * Base of the flag

Replacing with the real values:

10 square feet = 2.5 feet * Base of the flag

10 square feet/2.5 feet = Base of the flag

Base of the flag = 4 feet

If Caeli will use all of the fabric she has, the base of the flag should be of 4 feet.
