To find out how many square inches of plastic Warren needs to cover the window, we can use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle: Area = length × width.
First, we need to convert the measurements into inches, as the formula requires measurements in the same unit.
The window measures 5ft 6 inches by 2ft 9 inches.
To convert feet to inches, we multiply the number of feet by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).
So, 5ft 6 inches is equal to (5 × 12) + 6 = 60 + 6 = 66 inches.
Similarly, 2ft 9 inches is equal to (2 × 12) + 9 = 24 + 9 = 33 inches.
Now, we have the measurements in inches: 66 inches by 33 inches.
To find the area of the window, we multiply the length and the width: Area = 66 inches × 33 inches = 2178 square inches.
Therefore, Warren needs approximately 2178 square inches of plastic to cover the window.
66 * 33 = _________ square inches
It isn't 1800
