Question

You purchased two solar panels that have the same width but different heights. One panel has a height of 5.6 feet and the other panel has a height of 7.2 feet. To calculate the area that both panels will cover you use the formula 5.6w + 7.2w, where w is the width of each panel in feet. How much area will both panels cover if they are each two feet wide?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of of both panels combined is 25.6 square feet.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question;

Area covered by both panel is given by:

$5.6w + 7.2w$

where w is width of each panel.

Width of both panels = 2 feet

Putting w =2 in the given equation:

$A =5.6(2) + 7.2(2)\\A = 25.6$

Thus, the area of of both panels combined is 25.6 square feet.
