Question

use the following model to answer the question. javier is putting down sod at his new house. the width of his rectangular yard is 14 feet. he bought 378 square feet of sod. which of the following is the length of the yard in feet? (1 point) 2 tens + 2 = 22 2 tens + 4 = 24 2 tens + 7 = 27 2 tens + 8 = 28

Explanation:

Step1: Find the area of the second part

The total area of the sod is \(378\) square feet and the area of the first - part is \(280\) square feet. So the area of the second part \(B\times14\) is \(378 - 280=98\) square feet.

Step2: Find the value of \(B\)

Since the area of the second part is \(B\times14 = 98\), then \(B=\frac{98}{14}=7\).

Step3: Find the value of \(A\)

Since the area of the first part is \(A\times10\times14 = 280\), then \(A\times10=\frac{280}{14}=20\), so \(A = 2\).

Answer:

\(2\) tens \(+7=27\)
