multiply both measurements by 20 to get the area in square feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 times 20 is 100 and 4 times 20 is 80 so it wuld b 180?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100 inches = 8.34 feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80 inches = 6.67 feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so add 6.67 and 8.34? @mg_omg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's area, so you have to multiply them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so 8.34 times 6.67 is 55.62?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mg_omg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
