Answer:
i. No, Maurice statement is wrong.
ii. Stephan does not have sufficient pieces of wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.
Step-by-step explanation:
Stephan’s piece of wood measures; 18 inches in length and 12 inches in width.
Since the piece of wood has a shape of a rectangle,
the area of the piece of wood = length × width
= 18 × 12
= 216 square inches
According to Maurice’s statement, he could make a tray that has a base of 1012 inches by 1012 inches.
The base has the shape of a square, so that;
the area of the base = length × width =
= 1012 ×1012
= 1024144 squared inches
This shows that Stephan does not have sufficient wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has. and 16 more users found this answer helpful
