Question

Lacey wants to install a dance floor that is 10 feet long by 7 feet wide for her wedding reception. What must she figure out in order to determine how much dancing space there will be?

a-the volume of the dance floor
b-the length of the dance floor
c-the area of the dance floor
d-the perimeter of the dance floor

Answer 1

Answer:

Dancing Space to be occupied is a 2D figure. Hence we are not needed to measure the area.

Now Length along with Width is what we need for determining the dancing space.

Hence there are 2 options.

For determining how much space is available for dancing, then she must measure the area of the floor that she is going to dance.

If she is determining the maximum outer dimension she requires for dancing, then she is required to measure the Perimeter.

So in this case we just need her dancing space. So we need to calculate the area in this case.

So, the given dimensions are 10 ft × 7 ft

=> Area = 10 ft × 7 ft = 70 sq. ft

Hence she requires 70 sq. ft of area for dancing and she needs to determine only the area occupied.
