how cards of side 5cm can you cut from a rectangular sheet of paper of length 200cm and width 10cm?
how many square card of side 5cm can you cut from a rectangular sheet of paper of length 200cm and width 10?
Each card is 25 cm^2.
(200 * 10)/25 = ?
To determine how many cards you can cut from a rectangular sheet of paper, you need to calculate the maximum number of complete 5cm by 5cm squares that can fit within that sheet.
First, let's calculate the area of the rectangular sheet by multiplying its length by its width:
Area = Length × Width = 200cm × 10cm = 2000cm².
Next, let's calculate the area of a single card, which is the square's side length squared:
Card Area = Side Length × Side Length = 5cm × 5cm = 25cm².
Now, divide the area of the rectangular sheet by the area of a single card to find the maximum number of complete cards that can be cut:
Number of Cards = Area of Rectangular Sheet ÷ Area of a Single Card = 2000cm² ÷ 25cm² = 80 cards.
Therefore, you can cut a maximum of 80 cards with dimensions of 5cm by 5cm from the rectangular sheet of paper measuring 200cm by 10cm.
