Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of screen for window = 864.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

• A rectangular window of length = 3ft and breadth 2 ft.

Fir solving,

• As the answers should be in sqaure inches let us first convert ft in inches.
• Then, we will find the area of window and as the cost of screen is same as that of area,we will find it.

★Conversion from ft to inches:

We kow that,

• 1 foot = 12 inches

Taking this in mind, convert the values

= Length = 3 ft

= Length = 3 × 12

= Length = 36 inchees

= Breadth = 2ft

= Breadth = 2 × 12

= Breadth = 24 inches

★Area of window:

We know that,

= Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= Area = 36 × 24

= Area = 864 inches²

As, area of window in square inches equal to cost of the screen.

Therfore, cost of screen would be 864.
