Question

A rectangular window is 3.5 feet wide and has an area of 19.25 square ft you have six yards of string light do you have enough string lights to outline the window with light

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

We are to determine if 6 yards is enough t to go round the perimeter of the window

The length is not given, so we have to determine the length from the area

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

19.25 = 3.5 x length

length = 5.5 feet

Perimeter = 2 x ( length + breadth )

2 x (5.5 + 3.5) = 18 feet

We need to convert the string to foot

1 yard = 3 foot

6 x 3 = 18 foot

the string and the perimeter are equal, so it is enough
