B. 8 inches, hope this was right and helped:)
Answer:
to solve use the distributive property and multiply
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sorry I do not have the product
D. 192in^2
This would be a simple area problem with a triangle. REMEMBER THIS EQUATION: a=bh*1/2 (b for base and h for height, these are multiplied together then that answer is halved out.)
So we just need to plug in our values into the equation, so the equation would look like a= (16)*(24)*1/2. 16 times 24 would then give you 384, you could either divide by 2 or multiply by 0.5 to get the next answer, as long as your HALVING the answer.
So we have our bh value so now we can multiply by 1/2 which will give us 384*1/2 which leaves us with 192.
I have also attached a photo of doing a longer(ish) way than this, that also proves that this equation works. Either one will provide you an answer.
First, always draw. You learned to draw in kindergarben (Yes I spelled it like that on purpose LOL) for a reason.
1) Draw your rectangle on a piece of paper or paint.
2) Scale factor each side to enlarge which means you're going to multiply.
--- Note if it said 'to reduce' then you would divide.
3) Then find the area by multiplying the two given sides (12 x 6 = 72).
4) Don't forget your unit of measurement - 72ft²
So your answer is D.
