Answer 1

Answer:

The rug will fit. The rug is smaller than the parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is testing to see if you can figure out how the rug may fit in the room.

The rug does fit. Here's how we know.

The only given information from the question is...

1. Length and Width of the Rectangular Rug
2. Area of the Parallelogram

Notice that you can use the Length and the Width to get the area of the Rectangular Rug. We need to find the area of the rectangle so we can compare it to the parallelogram.

The area of the Parallelogram is listed at : 108 sqft

The area of the rectangular rug is : 60 sqft

• Area of rectangle = Length * Width
• 6 * 10 = 60

The question now asks us if the rug will fit in her room. Well, 60 sqft is less than 108 sqft. So, yes, it will fit.
