Question

Tina is building a birdhouse. The plans

Answer 1

Answer:

37.5 sq in

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the actual width and length of the wall, we need to set up a proportion.

Let L = the length

W = the width

$\frac{1}{2.5} = \frac{2}{W} = \frac{3}{L}$

Use the first and second fractions

W = 2(2.5) = 5 in = width

Use the first and third fractions

L = 3(2.5) = 7.5 in = length

Actual Area = LW = 7.5(5) = 37.5 sq in
