MRS.O'DELL MADE THIS DIAGRAM OF HER BACKYARD. ( 7 squares across and 5 down) if each square represents 1 square yard, what is the area of her backyard?
Make this diagram yourself.
How many squares do you have?
i have 315
i have 315 i x 35x9=315 ea sq = 1yd
To find the area of Mrs. O'Dell's backyard, we need to multiply the number of squares across by the number of squares down. In this case, the diagram is 7 squares across and 5 squares down.
So, the area of Mrs. O'Dell's backyard is:
Area = number of squares across * number of squares down
= 7 squares * 5 squares
= 35 square yards
Therefore, the area of her backyard is 35 square yards.
