The area of a shape is the amount of space the shape covers.
Using the assumed dimension of 1 box; 540 boxes will fit the floor of the trailer
First, calculate the area of the floor of the trailer
[tex]Area = Length \times Breadth[/tex]
[tex]Area = 3m \times 1.8m[/tex]
[tex]Area = 5.4m^2[/tex]
Next, calculate the area of 1 box in option B
[tex]Area = Length \times Breadth[/tex]
The dimensions are not given; so, I will use an assumed value
Assume that each box is 0.1m by 0.1m
So, the area is
[tex]Area = 0.1m \times 0.1m[/tex]
[tex]Area = 0.01m^2[/tex]
The number of box (n) is then calculated as follows:
[tex]n = \frac{5.4m^2}{0.01m^2}[/tex]
[tex]n = 540[/tex]
Hence, 540 boxes will fit the floor of the trailer using the assumed values.
