Answer 2

The value of one box in the tape diagram will be 21 square feet

Explanation:

Here, we have the total ratio added as 4 + 3 + 2 = 9

So the area of one box on the tape diagram will be the combined area divided by the total square feet

Mathematically, that will be;

189 square feet/9 = 21
