Question

Part A. Jose painted a square shaped mural. The length of each side of the canvas is 1 1/3 yards. What is the area of the mural is square yards?

Part B. Lori painted a rectangular mural with the same area as Jose mural. Her mural is not square shaped.
What could be the demensions of Lori's mural, in yards?
Length=______ yards
Width=_______ yards

Answer 1

A. Its a square. This means each side times the side would give us the area (s^2)
4/3^2 or 1.3333 x 1.33333 = 16 / 9 area.

B. Really just pick any numbers you want.
16 yards long and 1/9 wide.
As long as they multiply to 16/9

Answer 2

A). Area of mural =
`1(5)/(9)\:yards^2`

B). length =
`(8)/(9)\:yard`

width = 2 yards

Explanation:

A).

Length of Side of Square shaped mural =
`1(1)/(3)=(4)/(3)\:yards`

Area of mural = side × side =
`(4)/(3)*(4)/(3)`

=
`(16)/(9)=1(5)/(9)\:yards^2`

B).

Area of rectangular mural =
`(16)/(9)\:yards^2`

Area of rectangle is given as = length × width

Means length and width can be any no whose product equals to
`(16)/(9)`

one pair of such a number is as follows,

length =
`(8)/(9)\:yard`

width = 2 yards
