Answer:

The areas of the equal sections of boxes formed is 0.25ft^2

Explanation:

The question is not complete, as we are not told what to solve for, nevertheless, we can make some findings from the given information

Given data

We are told that the dimension of the paper is 1 ft

So, when the paper is folded twice, one horizontal and one vertical, the dimension of each box will be 0.5 ft

Hence there will be 4 boxes formed

And their areas will be

Area= 0.5*0.5

Area= 0.25ft^2
