Question 1054524: Both the length and width of the poster may vary by 0.05%, according to
regulations.
What is the smallest acceptable area of one poster, rounded to the
nearest thousandth of a square inch? The original poster was 11 inches by 8.5 inches in a drawing of a rectangle. I have the answer but I need to understand how to get the answer.

Find the smallest length and width allowed and find the area,
11%281-0.05%2F100%29=10.9945
8.5%281-0.05%2F100%29=8.49575
A%5Bmin%5D=10.9945%2A8.49575=93.406523375
A%5Bmin%5D=93.407
