Question

One side of a flat board has an area of 874 square inches. What are the dimensions of the board?

A) Length = 37 inches, Width = 24 inches
B) Length = 34 inches, Width = 25.7 inches
C) Length = 29 inches, Width = 30 inches
D) None of the above

Answer 1

The dimensions of the board can be found by dividing the area by one of its sides. The length of the board is √874 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the board can be found by dividing the area by one of its sides. Since the area is given as 874 square inches, we can find the dimensions by dividing this area by one side length. Let's assume the length of the board is L inches. We can set up the equation:

1. L * L = 874

By taking the square root of both sides, we can find the length of the board:

1. L = √874 inches

Answer: D) None of the above
