Question

wandas customer wants her to build a cabinet to fit between a refrigerator and kitchen wall that are 1 1/2 feet apart. which dimension should wanda measure so the cabinet fits? a) the area of the cabinet door b) the length of the cabinet c) the width of the cabinet d) the height of the cabinet

Explanation:

To fit the cabinet between the refrigerator and the kitchen wall (which are a certain distance apart), the dimension that matters is the one that corresponds to the space between them. The width of the cabinet would be the dimension that needs to match the \(1\frac{1}{2}\) - foot gap. The area of the door (A) is about a surface measure and not relevant for fitting in the gap. The length (B) is typically the longer horizontal dimension (if we assume the standard orientation of a cabinet in a kitchen setup where the length might be along the counter - top direction, not the gap between fridge and wall). The height (D) is the vertical dimension and not related to the horizontal gap between the fridge and the wall.

Answer:

C) the width of the cabinet
