The width is between 2 feet and 4 feet Taking the average, 1/2 (2 + 4) = 4 feet
The length is between 3 feet and 6 feet Taking the average, 1/2 (3 + 6) = 4.5 feet
Area of one panel = 4 x 4.5 = 18 ft² Area of 5 panels = 18 x 5 Area of 5 panels = 90 ft²
The estimated area of the 5 panels is 90 ft².
John's estimate is not reasonable as 140ft² is way too high from the average of 90 ft².
<em>Even taking the biggest possible length and width</em> <em>The area of 1 panel = 4 x 6 = 24 ft²</em> <em>The area of 5 panels = 24 x 5 = 120 ft²</em> <em>Even taking the highest possible estimate of 120 ft², John's estimate is still way too high</em>
