Tessa designed a supply closet as an addition to her house that closet is pictured and it’s total area is 36 ft.² what is the length and feet of the side of the supply closet labeled with the? On the image on base it’s 8 feet on the left side it’s 3 feet on the right side on the base. It’s 2 feet, what would the answer be?
To find the length of the side labeled with the ?, we need to calculate the square root of the total area, since the area of the supply closet is length times width.
Total area = 36 ft²
Length x Width = 36 ft²
Let the length of the side labeled with the ? be x feet.
Width = 8 ft + 3 ft + 2 ft = 13 ft
Length x Width = 36 ft²
x ft x 13 ft = 36 ft²
x = 36 ft² / 13 ft
x = 2.77 ft
Therefore, the length of the side labeled with the ? is approximately 2.77 feet.
