All squares are rectangles
all squares are rhombuses
Answer:
Alina will get $54
Step-by-step explanation:
132/11 = 12
12x4.5 = 54
Area of a rectangle is the product of length times width. Thus, here we need the product of 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches.
One way of doing this follows: 8.5
8.5
----------
93.5 square inches
Rounding up, this comes out to 94 square inches.
Alternatively: 17 187
---- * 11 = ------- = 93.5 square inches; rounded, that's 94.
2 2
The answer would be the first choice. 
Explanation: The reason for this is that the question was pretty much just asking what the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section would be -the shape in gray- (which can be found by using the formula 
. To add on, since the dimensions of the shape are already given (5 and 3) all you've to do is multiply: 3*5=15
That's how you get to the answer.
The length is (3/5 -1/5)=2/5
the height is also 2/5
area: length * height =2/5 *2/5=4/5
D is correct.
