Question

Leia cuts congruent triangular patches with an area of 63 square centimeters from a rectangular piece of fabric that is 18 centimeters long and 14 centimeters wide. How many of the patches can Lela cut from 35

pieces of the fabric?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rectangle piece of fabric has an area of (L*W =A) 18 * 14 = 252 sq cm. Each triangle being 64 sq cm, so total area of fabric divided by area of square 252/64 = 4 triangle for one square of 18x14 piece of fabric.

If you have 35 Squares, each can make 4 triangle. 35*4= 140
