Answer:
Explanation:
The total number of rows of squares in the quilt is 8. Each row contains 6 squares.
Since each square measures 1 foot on a side, the area of each square would be 1^2 = 1 foot^2
This means that each row contains six 1 foot^2. Since there are 8 rows, a triangle would be formed such that one of its sides is
6 × 1 foot == 6 feets and the other side would be
8 × 1 foot = 8 feets.
The area of the quilt in a square feet would be the area of the rectangle. It becomes
6 × 8 = 48 feets
