Cara and Beejal make a poster for school. The poster is in the shape of a rectangle. The left side of the poster measures 7 units; the top side of the poster measures 6 units. What is the area in square units of the completed poster?(1 point) Responses 48 square units 42 square units 13 square units 26 square units
The completely right answer is:
42 square units
Since the area of a triangle is given by the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2,
we can plug in the given values:
7.5 = (base * 2.5) / 2.
Now, we can solve for the base:
7.5 = 2.5 * base / 2
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6.
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja’Miles' sign is 6 feet.
So, the correct answer is: 6 feet.
The completely right answer is:
6 feet
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and the width. In this case, the length is 7 units and the width is 6 units.
Area = length x width
Area = 7 x 6
Area = 42 square units
Therefore, the area of the completed poster is 42 square units.
