The diagram represents a large mandrian-style painting. Different sizes of the painting and different colors can be ordered. Determine the value of x, in feet, that will make the area of the painting 56 square feet, and then determine the dimensions of the painting.

Answer 1

X = 5

dimension = 7 ft x 8 ft

3) 7 and 8 are factors of 56
