Question

You have 120 pieces of fabric to make a blanket. Each piece of fabric is a square with a side length of 6 inches. You use as many pieces of fabric as you need. <br /><br />

What is the area of the blanket?<br />
How many pieces of fabric are left over?<br />
How many more pieces of fabric would you need to increase the size of the blanket?

Answer 1

Given:
120 pieces of fabric.
Each fabric is a square with a side length of 6 inches.

Area of each square = (6in)² = 36 in²

36 in² * 120 pcs = 4,320 in² is the total area of the blanket.

4,320 in² is the maximum area of the blanket. If you only use a few pieces of fabric, simply multiply the number of pieces used by 36 in².
