If you put four 9-inch square boards together to make a bigger square, what would be the area of the new larger board in square feet?
the new dimensions would be 36 x 36
A = LW
A = ?
not an answer choice
didn't see that answer is in sq ft not in.
so, if the dimensions are 36" x 36"
convert to ft x ft = A
can you do this?
no im stupid and dumb
To find the area of the new larger board, we need to determine the area of each 9-inch square board and then add them together.
To start, we need to convert the measurements from inches to feet since we want the answer in square feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 9 inches is equal to 9/12 = 0.75 feet.
Now, let's find the area of one 9-inch square board. The formula for area is length multiplied by width. Since it's a square, the length and width are the same. So, the area of one board is 0.75 feet * 0.75 feet = 0.5625 square feet.
Since we have four identical square boards, we can multiply the area of one board by 4 to get the total area of the new larger board.
Total area of the new larger board = 0.5625 square feet * 4 = 2.25 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the new larger board would be 2.25 square feet.
