Lokota wants to build a sandbox for his little brother. Determine the amount of sand he needs by finding the area of the sandbox. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.

Question

First, write the formula, A=12bh .
Next use parentheses when you substitute _ (2.4, 0.5, 3.5) for b and _ for h . (3.5, 2.4, 0.5)
Now, simplify by _ 1/2, 2.4, and 3.5 . (Multiplying, subtracting, dividing, adding)
The area of the sandbox is _ m2 . (8.4, 5.9, 6.4, 4.2)

Answer 1

First, let's write the formula:

A = 1/2 bh.

Next, substitute (2.4, 0.5, 3.5) for b and (3.5, 2.4, 0.5) for h. So we can use 2.4 for b and 3.5 for h:

A = 1/2 (2.4)(3.5).

Now, simplify by Multiplying:

A = 1/2 (8.4).

Now, simplify again by dividing:

A = 4.2 m².

The area of the sandbox is 4.2 m².
