Draw two squares of appropriate size to compare the areas of Alaska (591,004 miles squared) and Texas (266,807 miles squared).
* I don't get how to set up and do this problem.
Draw the squares to whatever size you want, but indicate the scale you are using (e.g., 1 inch = 10,000 miles). The square root of the area will give you the length of the sides, since area of any rectangle = length times width.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
divide alaska by texas and there is your answer.
there is your answeer.
just go 2 google and google it!
To compare the areas of Alaska and Texas, you can draw two squares representing the size of each state. The size of each square should be proportional to the respective area of the state.
1. Determine the side length of Alaska's square:
- The area of Alaska is 591,004 square miles.
- Take the square root of the area to find the side length.
√(591,004) ≈ 768 miles
- Round the side length to a whole number for ease of drawing, if needed. Let's assume the side length of Alaska's square is 770 miles.
2. Determine the side length of Texas's square:
- The area of Texas is 266,807 square miles.
- Take the square root of the area to find the side length.
√(266,807) ≈ 516 miles
- Round the side length to a whole number for ease of drawing, if needed. Let's assume the side length of Texas's square is 520 miles.
3. Draw two squares:
- Take a blank paper or use a drawing software.
- Draw a square with a side length of 770 miles to represent Alaska.
- Draw another square with a side length of 520 miles to represent Texas.
- Ensure that each square is drawn reasonably large on the paper to match their relative sizes.
By drawing these squares, you will have a visual representation that allows you to compare the areas of Alaska and Texas. You can visually observe the differences between the two squares to understand their relative sizes.
