Kent loves to put cheese on his sandwich. One piece of cheese is 4” x 2”, and the other piece of cheese is 3” x 1”.
If the two pieces of cheese do not overlap, how much total area will they cover on Kent's bread?
The total area covered by the first piece of cheese is 4” x 2” = <<4*2=8>>8 square inches.
The total area covered by the second piece of cheese is 3” x 1” = <<3*1=3>>3 square inches.
The total area covered by the two pieces of cheese is 8 + 3 = <<8+3=11>>11 square inches. Answer: \boxed{11}.
The principal at Desert Springs Elementary is designing the new school recreation area.
There will be a soccer field right next to a playground, as shown in the picture.
The principal needs to calculate the total area of both sections so she can start ordering soil and grass seeds.
What is the total area of both the soccer field and playground?
A shape formed by connecting 2 rectangles. The rectangle on top has a length of 8 meters and width of 5 meters. The rectangle on bottom has a length of 16 meters and width of 12 meters.
The area of the rectangle on top is 8 meters x 5 meters = <<8*5=40>>40 square meters.
The area of the rectangle on the bottom is 16 meters x 12 meters = <<16*12=192>>192 square meters.
The total area of both sections is 40 square meters + 192 square meters = <<40+192=232>>232 square meters. Answer: \boxed{232}.
Allison is building a garden.
She needs to buy enough soil to cover the whole garden, picture below.
What is the garden’s total area (in square feet)?
A rectangle with a piece missing from the top right corner. The missing piece is a square. The rectangle is 4 feet by 6 feet. The missing square corner is 2 feet by 2 feet.
The area of the rectangle is 4 feet x 6 feet = <<4*6=24>>24 square feet.
The missing square has an area of 2 feet x 2 feet = <<2*2=4>>4 square feet.
Therefore, the total area of the garden is 24 square feet - 4 square feet = <<24-4=20>>20 square feet. Answer: \boxed{20}.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 32 feet.
Which dimensions could the rectangle have? Choose two.
A) 9 feet x 9 feet
B) 9 feet x 7 feet
C) 8 feet x 8 feet
D) 4 feet x 10 feet
To determine which dimensions the rectangle could have, we need to consider the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is 2(length + width).
Let's go through each option and calculate their perimeters:
A) 9 feet x 9 feet: 2(9 + 9) = 2(18) = 36 feet (bigger than the given perimeter of 32 feet)
B) 9 feet x 7 feet: 2(9 + 7) = 2(16) = 32 feet (matches the given perimeter)
C) 8 feet x 8 feet: 2(8 + 8) = 2(16) = 32 feet (matches the given perimeter)
D) 4 feet x 10 feet: 2(4 + 10) = 2(14) = 28 feet (smaller than the given perimeter of 32 feet)
From the calculations, it is clear that both options B and C could be the dimensions of the rectangle. Therefore, the correct choices are:
B) 9 feet x 7 feet
C) 8 feet x 8 feet
What is the perimeter of the shape below?
A square with a length of 5 feet and width of 5 feet.
The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all four sides, which are equal in length. In this case, since the length and width are both 5 feet, the perimeter of the square is 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = <<5+5+5+5=20>>20 feet. Answer: \boxed{20}.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 16 feet.
Which dimensions could the rectangle have? Choose two.
A) 8 feet x 8 feet
B) 4 feet x 4 feet
C) 6 feet x 2 feet
D) 2 feet x 8 feet
