Sara wants to build a sandbox for her younger siblings to play in. The sandbox is a rectangle shape with a width of 36.9 inches and length of 44.2 inches. Drag and drop the correct answers into the blanks.

Question

A=l×w
Write the equation and substitute Response area for l
and Response area for w
.

Now, simplify the equation by Response area 36.9 and 44.2.

The area of the sandbox is Response area in3

Answer 1

To calculate the area of the sandbox, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

A = l × w

Now, substituting the values:

• l = 44.2 inches (length)
• w = 36.9 inches (width)

The equation becomes:

A = 44.2 × 36.9

Now, simplifying the equation by calculating the product of 36.9 and 44.2:

A = 44.2 × 36.9 = 1624.38 in²

Therefore, the area of the sandbox is 1624.38 in².
