Answer 1

What's the base of the monument? They gave you three numbers.

Answer 2

Long, wide, and tall

Which one do you think will not give us the numbers for the base?
Remember a 2d figure only has a length and width but no height

Answer 3

204 feet long wont be needed

Answer 4

Do you think the 204 feet long which is the length is not part of the base?

We don't want the height because that's not part of the base

Answer 5

actually the tall segment is not needed

Answer 6

99 feet tall*

Answer 7

Correct, so we need the two other values

Answer 8

204 length 134 width

Answer 9

but she wants her model to be 1/100 of the original so we need to do some division

Answer 10

Exactly!
We want a model that's smaller by 100 so we dovide those two numbers by 100

And then we want the area of the base so we multiply the two numbers we get

Answer 11

2.04 and 1.34

Answer 12

3.38

Answer 13

wait

Answer 14

And multiply those two to get the area of the base of our model

Since the base is a rectangle, area = length * width

Answer 15

i did something wrong

Answer 16

2.7336

Answer 17

You added first instead of multiplying

Answer 18

yeah. whoops

Answer 19

but 2.7336 should be the answer for now

Answer 20

so then i assume the final thing to do is to round it to the nearest foot

Answer 21

Recheck the multiplication

Answer 22

I'm joking, I messed up

Answer 23

Yes, we round
Since it's .7, do we round up or round down

Answer 24

lagged out sorry but we round up.

Answer 25

Yes
