Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have to remember, area is LxW - Lenth x Width.
Also remember base is bxh - Base x height.
T he rectangle has a area already which is 3x3 = 6 but remember you also have to find the base. So,
you do Area = 50.4 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Base dimension of container = 4⅕ by 1⅓ yd
Array: 3 * 3 containers without space
Area covered by the containers
First, it'll be assumed that the container has a rectangular base.
The dimension of the base is measured out as follows:
Length, L = 4⅕ yd
Width, W = 1⅓ yd
Note that this can also be interchanged.
Next, is to calculate the area of 1 container..
Area = 4⅕ yd * 1⅓ yd
Convert mixed fractions to improper fraction
Area = 21/5 * 4/3 yd²
Area = 84/15 yd²
Area = 28/5 yd²
Area = 5.6 yd²
Next, is to calculate the area of the 3 by 3 containers.
Given that the container formed a 3 by 3 array;
This means that there 3 * 3 containers
3 * 3 = 9 containers.
Area of the 9 containers = 9 * Area of 1 container.
Area = 9 * 5.6 yd²
Area = 50.4 yd²
the area covered by the containers is 50.4 yd²
