The area of the larger rectangle is calculated as  units squared. Since the ratio of the larger to the smaller rectangle is , dividing the larger rectangle's area by  gives the area of the smaller rectangle:

 units squared

First, find the area of the rectangular yard:

 square feet

Next, find the area of the round cement fountain:

square feet

Then find the difference between the two:

square feet

Now, to get the number of grass seed bags needed, divide the area by to get approximately bags.  Because one can't purchase a partial bag, the correct answer is the next largest whole number, or bags of grass seed.

The width of the rectangle is w, therefore the length is 3w.  The perimeter, P, can then be described as P = w + w + 3w +3w

                                                                                          40 = 8w

                                                                                          w = 5

                                                                                          width = 5, length = 3w = 15

                                                                                          A = 5*15 = 75 square inches

First, we need to find the area of the room. Because the room is rectangular, we can multiply 20 feet by 30 feet, which is 600 square feet. Next, we need to know how much space one carpet piece covers. Because the carpet pieces are also rectangular, we can multiply 4 feet by 5 feet to get 20 feet. To determine how many pieces of carpet Angela will need, we must divide the total square footage of the room (600 feet) by the square footage covered by one carpet piece (20 feet). 600 divided by 20 is 30, so Angela will need 30 carpet pieces to carpet the entire room.

the length of the rectangle is half the width, and the width is 8, so the length must be half of 8, which is 4.

The area of the rectangle can be determined from multiplying length by width, so,

4 x 8 = 32 inches squared

96. Converting the dimensions of the tiles to inches, they each measure 12 inches by 6 inches.  This means that there need to be 8 tiles to span the length of the patio, and 6 tiles to span the width of the patio.  She needs to cover the entire area, so we can multiply 8 times 12 to get 96, the number of tiles she needs for the patio.

Glass Area per Window = 8 ft x 6 ft = 48 ft²

Total Number of Windows = Windows per Floor * Number of Floors = 4 * 8 = 32 windows

Total Area of Glass = Area per Window * Total Number of Windows = 48 * 32 = 1536 ft²

Perimeter:  Sum of the sides:

4x + 4x + 2x+8 +2x+8 = 160

12x + 6 = 160

12x = 154

x =

Therefore, the short side of the rectangle is going to be:

And the long side is going to be:

The area of the rectangle is going to be as follows:

Area = lw

The area of a square =

The area of a circle is

Area  = Area of Square  2(Area of Circle) =
