Martin says the area of a tile with a length of 1 foot by a width of 1 foot has an area of 1 square foot. and, to find 1/2 of this area, he would need to find 1/2 of the width and 1/2 of the length, and then multiply those two values. unfortunately, his method is incorrect. show at least one equation to show why this method would not work, and briefly state a method that will find 1/2 of 1 square foot.

His method is incorrect. By finding 1/2 the width and 1/2 the length, if we multiply them , we would get 1/4 of the original area.

Area = 0.5*l*0.5*w = 0.25*l*w = l*w/4

Let us establish

length = l

width = w

Original Area = l*w

Half the area = (a*l)*(b*w) = 0.5*(l*w)

This means that

a*b = 0.5

if b is equal to a, then

a = √0.5  = √2/2 = 0.707

Then,  if a factor of a, where to be introduced in the lenght and width of the tile, we would  obtain  half the area.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
