Question

60ft by 60ft wall and a mirror that’s 60ft by 20ft the mirror covers wat percent of the wall?

Answer 1

okay, so we have a wall that is 60 ft. The area of the wall because the wall is a square is just side squared. So the area of the wall is
`60^(2)`, which is 30 600 square feet. The mirror is 20 ft by 60 ft. So the area of the mirror, because its a rectangle is length times width, so that's 20 a 60 so 20 x 60 is gonna give me 1200 square feet. So if we take the area of the mirror and put that over the area, the wall we get 1200 over 30 600, which reduces to one over three. So the mirror is one third the area of the wall.
