Lisa made a quilt for her cousin's doll. The quilt had an 8 x 8 array of different color square patches. If each patch is 2 in long, what is the area of the whole quilt?

Respuesta :

First, we find the area of one patch

[tex]A=\frac{8}{3}\cdot\frac{8}{3}=\frac{64}{9}[/tex]

Then, we multiply this area by 64 because there are 8x8 square patches.

[tex]A_{total}=64\cdot\frac{64}{9}=\frac{4096}{9}=455\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Hence, the total area is 455 1/9 square inches.
