Mr. West is painting his front sidewalk to make it colorful. The total area is 24 square feet. What are the possible dimensions of the sidewalk? Be sure to create all possible combinations through representations and labels.

All possible dimensions are: 1ft × 24ft = 24, 2ft × 12ft = 24, 3ft × 8ft = 24, 4ft × 6ft = 24, 6ft × 4ft = 24, 8ft × 3ft = 24, 12ft × 2ft = 24, or 24ft × 1ft = 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the assumption that the sidewalk has a rectangular shape:

              Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question, the total area = 24 .

        ⇒                  length × width = 24

So, all possible combinations are:

       i. 1 ft × 24 ft = 24

       ii. 2 ft × 12 ft = 24

       iii. 3 ft × 8 ft = 24

       iv. 4ft × 6 ft = 24

       v.  6ft × 4ft = 24

       vi. 8ft × 3ft = 24

       vii. 12ft × 2ft = 24

       viii. 24ft × 1ft = 24

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
