Answer:
1. area of new pen = 11
2. i. 5 feet by 2 feet
ii. 2 ½ feet by 4 ½ feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The size of the pen as planned = 5 ft long by 4 ½ ft wide
Area of the pen = length x width
= 5 x 4 ½
= 5 x
Area of the pen =
= 22 ½
But, Krista has to make the pen ½ the size of planned. So that;
area of new pen = ½ x 22 ½
= ½ x
=
= 11
area of new pen = 11
The area of the new pen would be 11
.
The possible values she could use are:
i. 5 feet by 2 feet
ii. 2 ½ feet by 4 ½ feet
