Lewis directs the school marching band. He uses scale drawings of the football field to design marching formations for the band.
The football field is 100 yards long and yards wide. Lewis always uses a scale of 1 inch to 10 yards for his drawings. Complete the steps below to find the length and width of the football field as it appears in one of Lewis’s scale drawings.
Part A
What is the actual area of the football field? Assume that the field is shaped like a rectangle.
Do this: (length in inches * 10) x (length in inches * 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
There's information missing from this question. "The football field is 100 yards long and yards wide", but to find out the area of a rectangle you just need to times the two numbers together.
I assume you have a picture with the lengths in inches on, if you can see how many inches are on the scale drawing, times the inches by 10 for the length in yards for each side. Then times the two lengths (in yards) together for the area.
The commutative property of multiplication is ab=ba so 9(x+5)=(x+5)9 (note, some people on this site like to write x2 for x² but that's not how you math correctly., (x+5)9 doesn't mean (x+5)⁹, it means (x+5) times 9)
