Q:
A sheet of paper has dimensions of 8.5 in x 11 in. If you cut 2 in2 from each corner of the sheet, what will the area of the sheet of paper be?
Accepted Solution
A:
The original area is:
+8.5%2A11+=+93.5+ in2
There are 4 corners, so
+4%2A2+=+8+ in2 total removed
+93.5+-+8+=+85.5+
The new area is 85.5 in2
