Respuesta :
1/8 yard, I believe. I multiplied 1/4 by 1/2 to get 1/8 bc the formula for area is length×width.
The question says :Mrs Henley built a cage for her bird .
The bottom of the cage Mrs Henley build has to be covered by a newspaper.
To cover the bottom by newspaper we need to find the area of bottom.
The formula to find the area of bottom is length x width.
The dimensions of the bottom is given as [tex] \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{2} yard. [/tex]
Area of bottom = [tex] \frac{1}{4} times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} [/tex]
Answer: The area that needs to be covered is [tex] \frac{1}{8} [/tex] square yards.
