Part A. Jose painted a square shaped mural. The length of each side of the canvas is 1 1/3 yards. What is the area of the mural is square yards?
Part B. Lori painted a rectangular mural with the same area as Jose mural. Her mural is not square shaped.
What could be the demensions of Lori's mural, in yards?
Length=______ yards
Width=_______ yards

Respuesta :

A. Its a square. This means each side times the side would give us the area (s^2)
4/3^2 or 1.3333 x 1.33333 = 16 / 9 area.

B. Really just pick any numbers you want.
16 yards long and 1/9 wide.
As long as they multiply to 16/9

Answer:

A). Area of mural = [tex]1\frac{5}{9}\:yards^2[/tex]

B). length = [tex]\frac{8}{9}\:yard[/tex]

    width = 2 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

A).

Length of Side of Square shaped mural = [tex]1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\:yards[/tex]

Area of mural = side × side = [tex]\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

                       = [tex]\frac{16}{9}=1\frac{5}{9}\:yards^2[/tex]

B).

Area of rectangular mural = [tex]\frac{16}{9}\:yards^2[/tex]

Area of rectangle is given as = length × width

Means length and width can be any no whose product equals to [tex]\frac{16}{9}[/tex]

one pair of such a number is as follows,

length = [tex]\frac{8}{9}\:yard[/tex]

width = 2 yards
