Luis is building a deck in his backyard the area of the day would be 64 square feet what might the length and width of the date be
Accepted Solution
A:
Given is :The area of the deck will be = 64 square feet.As, it is not mentioned if the deck is a rectangle or a square, so we can assume it can be both,For square it will be.Area = side * sideLet the side be = x[tex]x*x=64[/tex][tex]x^{2}=64[/tex][tex]x=\sqrt{64}=8[/tex]So, side of the deck will be 8 feet.For rectangle it will be.As the dimensions are not given, we can find them by finding the multiples of 64.The multiples are : 1.2,4,8,16,32So to make 64, the possible combination can be either 2*32 or 4*16Hence. if the deck is rectangular, so one set of length can be 16 feet and 32 feet. And set of width can be 4 feet and 2 feet.
