Question

Sara wants to build a sandbox for her younger siblings to play in. The sandbox is a rectangle shape with a width of 25.6 inches and length of 40.3 inches. Drag and drop the correct answers into the blanks.A=l×wWrite the equation and substitute Response area for l and Response area for w.Now, simplify the equation by Response area 40.3 and 25.6.The area of the sandbox is Response area in3

Answer 1

To find the area of the sandbox, you can use the formula \( A = l \times w \).

Substituting the values for length (l = 40.3 inches) and width (w = 25.6 inches), we get:

\[ A = 40.3 \times 25.6 \]

Now, simplifying the equation:

\[ A = 1034.48 \]

The area of the sandbox is \( 1034.48 \) square inches (in²).

So, the complete filled statement would be:

"Write the equation and substitute 40.3 for l and 25.6 for w. Now, simplify the equation by multiplying 40.3 and 25.6. The area of the sandbox is 1034.48 in²."
