What is the area of a piece of plywood measuring 2 feet 8 inches long by 2 feet 4 inches wide? give your answer in square inches. a. 576 square inches b. 896 square inches c. 80 square inches d. 768 square inches

Given

piece of plywood measuring 2 feet 8 inches long by 2 feet 4 inches wide.

What is the area of a piece of plywood .

To proof

Here plywood shape in the form of rectangle.

Formula

Area of rectangle = Length×Breadth

As given in the question

Length =2 feet 8 inches

Breadth = 2 feet 4 inches

First convert feet into inches

1 feet = 12 inches

2 feet 8 inches = 2×12 + 8

                       =  32 inches

Also

2 feet 4 inches  = 2×12 +4

                          = 28 inches

put is in the above formula

Area of plywood = 32 ×28

                            = 896 inches²

Therefore option (b) is correct

Hence proved

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
