Question

When the side length of Blanket A is multiplied by 2^1/2 the result is 6 yards.Find the area of blanket A.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of Blanket A is 18yd^2

Answer 2

The area of blanket A from the calculations is given as; 18 yd²

Let the side length of A be y.

Now, this side length is multiplied by 2½.

This gives;

2½ × y

>> 5y/2

• Now,we are told the multiplication result is 6 yards.

Thus;

5y/2 = 6

• Using multiplication property of equality, we multiply both sides by 2 to get;

5y = 12

y = 12/5

y = 2.4

Now, from research, the width of the blanket is 7.5 yards. Thus;

Areas of blanket A = 7.5 × 2.4

Area of blanket A = 18 yd²
