Question

Could someone help with this?

(draw a picture with the 3 different shapes, and the mathematical calculations that show the area is equal to exactly 100 square inches)

i’m stuck on this:////

Answer 1

See attached image (poster).

Explanation:

I'm not a graphic artist, so the attached poster leaves much to be desired. First, lets decide which shapes we should have. I randomly selected square, rectangle, and circle. One could consider triangles, polygons, parallelograms, and others.

Make a table with the shapes, and add dimensions. The table is on the poster. I made the table on a spreadsheet, so that formulas could be used to calculate the resulting areas for each shape, once the dimensions are entered. I modified the radius of the circle to add just enough area to meet the requirement of 100 in^2. The figures are proportionally correct.
