(1 point) Responses 128 square inches 128 square inches 160 square inches 160 square inches 52 square inches 52 square inches 40 square inches
To find the area covered by 4 paving stones, we need to construct a rectangle by arranging the 4 paving stones.
The dimensions of each paving stone are given as 4 inches by 5 inches.
So, the dimensions of the rectangle will be 4 inches by 10 inches (since 2 paving stones will be placed vertically and 2 will be placed horizontally).
The area of the rectangle is calculated as length x width.
Area = 4 inches x 10 inches = 40 square inches.
Therefore, the area covered by 4 paving stones is 40 square inches.
So, the correct response is: 40 square inches.
