Answer 3

Can you show me what you did?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

a=lxw a=3x5=15

Answer 6

Area of rectangular counter: 3 feet x 5 feet = 15 feet squared

Area of cut out circle: pi(rsquared) = 3.14(.5625) = 1.76625 feet squared

Area of space without circle = 15 feet squared - 1.76625 feet squared = 13.23375 Feet squared

Rounded to nearest tenth.....13.2 ft2....Your answer is B
