A Box is 2.5 ft tall and 3 ft wide what is the area

9 answers

To find the area of the box, you need to multiply the height by the width:

Area = Height x Width
Area = 2.5 ft x 3 ft
Area = 7.5 square feet

So, the area of the box is 7.5 square feet.
a stone flooring has 12 ft wide and 7 ft tall what is the area
Note: the stone covers the entire 12ft by 7ft space
To find the area of the stone flooring, you also need to multiply the height by the width:

Area = Height x Width
Area = 7 ft x 12 ft
Area = 84 square feet

So, the area of the stone flooring is 84 square feet.
A Moat is 16 ft wide and 11 ft tall what is the area
Note: The Moat is only around the outside of the stone flooring
The stone flooring is 12ft wide and 7 ft tall
First, let's calculate the area of the stone flooring as before:

Area of stone flooring = 7 ft x 12 ft = 84 square feet

Now, with the moat surrounding the stone flooring on the outside, the dimensions of the entire area will be larger. To calculate the area of the moat itself, we need to consider the additional width of the moat around all sides. The moat is essentially adding an extra 16 ft in each dimension (width and height) to the stone flooring.

Therefore, the total dimensions of the area with the moat included would be:
Width = 12 ft (stone flooring width) + 2*16 ft (moat width on each side) = 12 ft + 32 ft = 44 ft
Height = 7 ft (stone flooring height) + 2*16 ft (moat height on each side) = 7 ft + 32 ft = 39 ft

Now, we can calculate the area of the entire area with the moat:

Area = Width x Height
Area = 44 ft x 39 ft
Area = 1716 square feet

Therefore, the area of the moat surrounding the stone flooring is 1716 square feet.
That is not the correct answer
I apologize for the incorrect calculation. Let's correct that.

To find the area of just the moat surrounding the stone flooring, we need to subtract the area of the stone flooring from the total area of the moat and the stone flooring together.

Area of stone flooring = 7 ft x 12 ft = 84 square feet

Total area with moat:
Width = 12 ft (stone flooring width) + 2*16 ft (moat width on each side) = 44 ft
Height = 7 ft (stone flooring height) + 2*16 ft (moat height on each side) = 39 ft

Area of the total area = Width x Height = 44 ft x 39 ft = 1716 square feet

Area of just the moat = Total area - Area of stone flooring = 1716 square feet - 84 square feet = 1632 square feet

Therefore, the correct area of just the moat surrounding the stone flooring is 1632 square feet. Thank you for your patience.
That is still incorrect
I apologize for the error in my previous calculations, Let's correct that.

For the moat surrounding the stone flooring with dimensions 12 ft wide and 7 ft tall,

Total width of the moat and the stone flooring = 2 * 16 ft (moat width on each side) + 12 ft (stone flooring width) + 2 * 16 ft (moat width on each side) = 60 ft
Total height of the moat and the stone flooring = 2 * 16 ft (moat height on each side) + 7 ft (stone flooring height) + 2 * 16 ft (moat height on each side) = 55 ft

Area of the total area = Width x Height = 60 ft x 55 ft = 3300 square feet

Area of just the stone flooring = 7 ft x 12 ft = 84 square feet

Area of just the moat = Total area - Area of stone flooring = 3300 square feet - 84 square feet = 3216 square feet

Therefore, the correct area of just the moat surrounding the stone flooring is 3216 square feet. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
