Question

Oscar has a piece of pie would that is 9‘ x 9‘ explain how we can divided into two smaller pieces of plywood would the area of the smaller pieces equal to the area of the larger piece

Answer 1

Part A. Using a handsaw.

Part B. Yes, the area of the two smaller pieces together equal the are of the large piece

Explanation:

Part A. Explain how Oscar can divide it into two smaller pieces of plywood?

He can use a handsaw and cut the plywood in two smaller pieces of several measures, not necessarily the two smaller pieces need to be equal.

Part B. Would the area of the smaller pieces equal the area of the large piece?

Yes, the area of the two smaller pieces together equal the are of the large piece.

i. Let's suppose we have two pieces of 4.5 feet by 9 feet, then the combined area of these two pieces would be:

A = 4.5 *9 + 4.5 * 9

A = 40.5 + 40.5 = 81 ft² that is the same than 9 * 9 = 81 ft²

ii. Now let's suppose we divide the plywood into a piece of 6 ft by 9 ft and a second one of 3 ft by 9 ft, then the combined area of these two pieces would be:

A = 6 * 9 + 3 * 9

A = 54 + 27 = 81 ft² that is the same than 9 * 9 = 81 ft²

iii. Finally, let's suppose we divide the plywood into a piece of 1 ft by 9 ft and a second one of 8 ft by 9 ft, then the combined area of these two pieces would be:

A = 1 * 9 + 8 * 9

A = 9 +72 = 81 ft² that is the same than 9 * 9 = 81 ft²

Answer 2

1. with the aid of a saw

2.No

Explanation:

A. The 9‘ x 9‘ can be divided into two with the aid of a saw .

we have to take into account the area of the shape wic 9'x9'. and then saw the piece at the middle.

b.there are two sides to the second answer

1. the area of the smaller pieces will be smaller than the area of the larger piece

2. when the smaller pieces are placed side by side aain , tere area combined together will be the same as the original piece
