Question

A brick is 3 1/2 inches wide by 8 inches long. How much area would this brick cover?​

Answer 1

28 inches squared

Explanation:

Area is base (b) times height (h)

A=bh

A= 3.5 x 8

A = 28

Answer 2

The brick will cover area of 28 square inches.

Explanation:

Length of the brick = l =
`3(1)/(2)=(7)/(2) inch`

Width of the brick = w = [te]8 inch[/tex]

Area covered by the brick = A

Area of rectangle = length × width

`A=(7)/(2)inch* 8 inch=28 inch^2`

The brick will cover area of 28 square inches.
