Martin says the area of a tile with a length of 1 foot by a width of 1 foot has an area of 1 square foot. And, to find
1
2
of this area, he would need to find
1
2
of the width and
1
2
of the length, and then multiply those two values. PLEASE HELP ME I GIVE YOU 25 PONITS

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

His method is incorrect. By finding 1/2 the width and 1/2 the length, if we multiply them , we would get 1/4 of the original area.

so

[tex]Area = 0.5*l*0.5*w = 0.25*l*w = l*w/4[/tex]

Let us establish

length = l

width = w

Original Area = l*w

[tex]Half\ the\ area = (a*l)*(b*w) = 0.5*(l*w)[/tex]

This means that

[tex]a*b = 0.5[/tex]

if b is equal to a, then

[tex]a=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]

Then

if a factor of a, where to be introduced in the length and width of the tile, we would  obtain  half the area.
