You found the piece areas correctly:
- A(base) = 7 × 7 = 49 in²
- A(side) = 7 × 12 = 84 in²
Total area of all pieces:
Total = 2 × 49 + 4 × 84 = 98 + 336 = 434 in²
Plywood area = 26 × 44 = 1144 in².
Since 1144 in² > 434 in², Erica has enough wood (1144 − 434 = 710 in² left over).
- A(base) = 7 × 7 = 49 in²
- A(side) = 7 × 12 = 84 in²
