Aconcrete patio is

feet wide. it has an area of

square feet. is the concrete slab long enough to fit a 7-foot picnic table without placing the table along the diagonal of the patio? explain.

The length of concrete patio is 6.5 feet which is less than given 7 foot picnic table. So the concrete slab is not enough to fit a 7 foot picnic table

Solution:

Given that concrete patio is feet wide

Area of concrete patio = square feet

Therefore,

Let us find the length of concrete patio

Concrete patio is usually of shape rectangle

Area of concrete patio = length x width

Therefore length of concrete patio is 6.5 feet

So it cannot fit the 7 foot picnic table. Since the length of concrete patio is 6.5 feet which is less than given 7 foot picnic table
