The room you want to paint has 2 doors,each 6.5 ft tall and covering 20.8 square ft.What is the width of each door?
My answer is 3.2 ft,am i right?if not please explain.
Yes, you're right.
To find the width of each door, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area = Length × Width.
Given that the area of each door is 20.8 square feet, and the height (length) of each door is 6.5 feet, we can rearrange the formula:
20.8 = 6.5 × Width
To solve for Width, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6.5:
Width = 20.8 / 6.5
Evaluating this expression, we find that the width of each door is approximately 3.2 feet. Therefore, your answer of 3.2 feet is correct!
