Mr. Saldivar is building a ramp in the shape of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown. Sheets of plywood are 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. What is the minimum number of sheets of plywood he needs to buy in order to have enough to build the ramp?

Respuesta :

Based on the area of the plywood sheet and the area that needs to be covered by the plywood sheet, the minimum number of sheets Mr. Saldivar needs to buy is 32 plywood sheets.

How many sheets should Mr. Saldivar buy?

The area of the ramp is:

= 85 ft x 12 ft

= 1,020 ft²

The area of the plywood sheet is:

= 8 x 4

= 32 ft²

The minimum number of sheets to buy is:

= Area of ramp / Area of sheets

= 1,020 / 32

= 32 plywood sheets
