Question

The area of a quadrilateral is 8.4 square feet. find two decimals that give a product close to 8.4

Answer 1

Hence the approximate values are 2.91 and 2.89

Explanation:

The area of a quadrilateral is expressed as

A=L*B

Where L=length

B=breadth or width

I. e assuming it has two of its sides equal

Say given area is

A=L*B=8.4 square feet

Let's take the square root of the area A=2.898

=2.89

Approximately

L= 2.9 feet

Let's us divide the area by L to get B

8.4/2.9= 2.91

Answer 2

2.81 and 0.3 are two decimals that give a product of 8.43 which is close to 8.4

Explanation:

let consider a decimal number 0.3

now consider another decimal number 2.81

now if we multiply these two numbers then we get 8.43 which is also a decimal number and it is close to 8.4.
