What is the area of the rectangle? Round to the nearest square inch.



A.
27 in^2

B.
31 in^2

C.
45 in^2

D.
47 in^2

Answer 1

1. We need to find a^2
2. a^2 + 5^2 = 8^2
3. a^2 + 25 = 64
4. 64 - 25 = 39
5. Square root of 39 = 6.24 so let’s just say 6
6. Now the length is 6 and the width is 5 so we do 6 x 5 = 30
