Respuesta :

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

W are given that a concrete patio is [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex] feet wide

and area of of concrete patio is [tex]36\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

We have to find out the length of concrete slab is 7 foot or not.

We know that area of rectangle =[tex]l\timesb[/tex]

Let length of concrete patio =x foot

Breadth of concrete patio =[tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex] feet

Area of concrete patio =[tex]\frac{221}{6}[/tex]

Using formula

[tex]\frac{221}{6}=\frac{17}{3}\times x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{221}{6}\times \frac{3}{17}=x[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{13}{2}[/tex] foot=6.5 foot

Hence, length of concrete slab is 6.5 foot not 7 foot.Therefore, 7 foot picnic table will no fit.

The concrete slab is not long enough to fit the picnic table.

The concrete patio is in the shape of a rectangle. A rectangle is an object that has four sides. The diagonal is the length from angle of the rectangle to the other angle of the rectangle.

The area of a rectangle = length x width

length = area / width

[tex]36\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ÷ [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Convert to improper fractions

[tex]\frac{221}{6}[/tex] ÷[tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{221}{6}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{3}{17}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]

length = 6.50 feet

The length of the patio is less than the length of the picnic table.
