Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

1. D) 75 inches

2. A) 27 square feet

Explanation:

1. You need to convert 6 feet to inches. In one foot, there are 12 inches. Multiply 6 by 12 to find the number of inches in 6 feet. Add 3 inches to the product to find the total number of inches.

6 × 12 = 72

72 + 3 = 75

You will have 75 inches in total.

2. Use the formula to solve. You are given the base and the height already. Simply plug in and solve.

A = 1/2BH

A = 1/2(6)(9)

A = 3(9)

A = 27 ft²

The area is 27 ft².
