A rectangular table is 2 ft wide and 4 ft long.How many square ft.of glass are neede to cover the entire table top?

area = length * width

and how does this relate to the supposed subject?

Former subject was another arithmetic problem.

Does Anonymous have reading problems, too, I wonder?

To find the answer, we need to calculate the area of the rectangular table.

The formula to find the area of a rectangle is :

Area = Length x Width

Given that the width of the table is 2 ft and the length is 4 ft, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Area= 4 ft x 2 ft

Multiply the numbers:
Area = 8 square feet

Therefore, to cover the entire table top, you would need 8 square feet of glass.
