Question

the area of a mirror is 225 square inches and its width is 13 3/4 inches. Will the mirror fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16 inches ?

Answer 1

A = 225 in^2
W = 13.75

15x16 = 240 in^2

240/13.75 = 17.45 in

the mirror would not fit in a space that is 15 by 16 inches since its approximately 13 by 17 inches
