The length of cassidy's bed is 9 1/4 if the area of the comforter is 69 3/8 square feet what is the width of the comforter

Respuesta :

area of triangle = W × B

area of a triangle is = 552/8

552/8 = 37/4 × W

552/8 = 37W/4

8•37W = 4•552

296W = 2208

W = 7.5

width : 7.5 feet

Explanation:

area of rectangle : Length * Width

Given,

  • area : 69 3/8
  • length : 9 1/4

solve:

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 69\dfrac{3}{8} = 9\dfrac{1}{4} * Width[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{69.375}{9.25} = width[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf width = 7.5[/tex]
