Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find how many square feet of material are needed for one panel, we multiply the length by the width:

3 feet x 10 feet = 30 square feet

To find how many square feet of material are needed for six panels, we multiply this result by 6:

30 square feet x 6 = 180 square feet

Therefore, the answer is D) 180 sq ft. To find the total square footage of material needed for six panels, we need to find the area of one panel and then multiply it by the number of panels.

The area of one panel is: 
3 ft x 10 ft = 30 sq ft

To find the total area of six panels, we multiply the area of one panel by 6: 
30 sq ft x 6 = 180 sq ft

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
