Answer:
He needs 8.75 ft² polka dot paper to cover the board.
Step-by-step explanation:
How much polka dot paper she need to cover the board is the area of the board . The is a rectangle with length 3.5 ft long and width of 2.5 ft wide .
The area of the board(rectangle) = length × width
Area = LW
where
L= 3.5 ft
W = 2.5 ft
Area = 3.5 × 2.5
Area = 8.75 ft²
He needs 8.75 ft² polka dot paper to cover the board.
Equation: x + x + 6 = 2x = 25
smallest side is 4.75 units
largest size is 4.75 + 6 = 10.75 units
3rd side is 2(4.75)= 9.5 units
smallest side is x
largest size is x + 6
3rd side is 2x
-----------------------------------
4x + 6 = 25
-6 -6
<u>4x</u> = <span><u>19</u>
</span> 4 4
x = 4.75 is the smallest side
smallest side is 4.75 units
largest size is 4.75 + 6 = 10.75 units
3rd side is 2(4.75)= 9.5 units
The answer is 22.5 so the reminder will be 1/2 or .5
Oof I’m not quite sure how to do that
Ok I almost have the answer. Do you want me to explain how I did it?
