At a storage company, items are stored in containers that have a base of 5 1 /2 yds by 1 2 /3 yds. If there is a 3 × 3 array of these containers with no space between them, what is the area covered by the containers?

25/4

step-by-step explanation:

call segment cd's length x. because dc and ab are parallel, angle acd and cab, so triangles adc and abc are similar and we can set up the equation x / ac = ac / ab, or x / 5 = 5 / 4 and x = 25/4.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:
