Question

A row of lockers covers 160 square feet of space along a wall. If the lockers are 5 feet tall, what length along the wall do they cover?

75 feet, 32 feet, 155 feet or 800feet

Answer 1

The lockers, with an area of 160 square feet and a height of 5 feet, cover a length of 32 feet along the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length along the wall that the lockers cover, we need to use the area of the lockers and their height. The area covered by the lockers is 160 square feet, and we are given that the height of the lockers is 5 feet. To find the length, we divide the total area by the height:

Length = Area ÷ Height

Length = 160 sq ft ÷ 5 ft

Length = 32 feet

Therefore, the lockers cover a length of 32 feet along the wall.
