Question 1007007: the length of a rectangular board is 10 cm longer than its width. the width of the board is 26 cm. the board is cut into 9 equal pieces. what is the area of each piece Answer by tiffany222(56) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be width
Let y be length
x = 26 cm
y = x+10 cm = 26 cm+10 cm = 36 cm
Area of whole rectangle is:
A = length x width or A = (x)(y)
A= (26 cm)(36 cm) = 936 cm^2
Since there are 9 equal pieces, the total area must be divided by 9
936 cm^2 / 9 = 104 cm^2
Final Answer: 104 cm^2
