Question

Wendy bought some wrapping paper for Christmas that was 5 feet long and 2 feet wide what is the wrapping paper she brought

Answer 1

The wrapping paper is rectangular in shape.

The formula for the area of the wrapping paper(A) will be

`A=\text{length}* width`

Given that

`\begin{gathered} \text{length}=5\text{feet} \\ \text{width}=2\text{feet} \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} A=5*2=10ft^2 \\ \therefore A=10ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the area of the wrapping paper is

`A=10ft^2`
