The sand pit for the long jump has a width of 2.7 meters and a length of 9.54 meters. Just in case it rains, the principal wants
to cover the sand pit with a piece of plastic the night before the event. How many square meters of plastic will the principal need to cover the sand pit?
We want to cover the sand pit with a piece of plastic. We need to find how many square meters of plastic will be needed to cover the sand pit. It is equal to the area of sand pit. It is in the shape of rectangle. Its area is given by :
A = l × b
A = 2.7 × 9.54
A = 25.758 m²
So, 25.758 m² of plastic will be needed to cover the sand pit.
replace thirty with 30. less than is - (minus). the product of a number y and four. replace four with 4. the product is the answer of the multiplication problem. so the multiplication problem here would be y*4. so the full answer is
