Question

Carmen wants to build a rectangular garden with a total area of 100 square feet. Label the rectangles with three different possible
sets of dimensions that she could choose.

Can someone please help me with this, I’m exhausted so my brain isn’t working right now

Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

Answer:

10ftx10ft, 20ftx5ft, 25ftx4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

$length * width$

In this question, we basically have to find lengths and widths that equal 100:

$length * width = 100$

Thinking about this we get lots of combinations:

Combo 1 - 1ftx100ft = 100ft^2

Combo 2 - 2ftx50ft = 100ft^2

Combo 3 - 4ftx25ft = 100ft^2

Combo 4 - 5ftx20ft = 100ft^2

Combo 5 - 10ftx10ft = 100ft^2

Here are 5 combos of lengths and widths I came up with that result in 100 square feet :3(I chose combo 3, 4, and 5, but 1 and 2 work too!)

Hope this helps! Please give your brain a break and time to cool down! :3
