Answer:
- Deck's width is 6 feet.
- The area is 72 sq. ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, label it out:
- Length: 12 ft.
- Width: ?
- Area: ?
Then, we add up 12 twice (Since the length is on 2 sides):
- 12 + 12 = 24
- 36 - 24 = 12
- 12 - ? = ?
Now, we write down a 6 in the ?:
Width = 6.
We are not done!
Now, we have to solve for area.
<h2>
Answers are:</h2><h2>
Area = 72 sq. ft.</h2><h2>
Width = 6 ft.</h2>
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided is D, because if you did that it would completely cancel out the 's and leave you with .
Hope it helps and have a great day!
