The dimensions of a piece of fabric are 45" by 75". Find the area of the largest square that can be cut from this piece of fabric.

Answer 1

Fabrics are usually rectangular. So the given fabric will be assumed to be a rectangle with length 75" and width 45".

Since the maximum dimension of a square cut from the fabric cannot exceed 45", the biggest square will be 45"x45".

The corresponding area will therefore be
45*45 sq.in.=2025 sq. in.
