The question* has a statement that says A regulation soccer field for international play is a rectangle with a length between 94.0m and 106m and a width between 60.0m and 80.0m. it then asks whats the smallest area the field can be. I'm feeling kinda low because i think its probally a easier question. I Multiplied 94 by 60 and 5064 m wasnt the answer. I thought since the question asked what the smallest could be, and also stated that the length was between certain numbers I try again. so i multipled 95 by 61 and 5795 m also wasnt the answer. (when I say m I mean meters). While typing this question I reread the statement, does between mean directly between? am I taking the number thats in the middle? it then asks what the biggest area could be

94 * 60 = 5640 ;)
 
xD I'm doing college homework.. for physics I tried twice and i have 4 more tries. so it hasnt shown me the answer yet :/

OK, unless I am missing something I would think the answer should be 5640. Very well that I could be missing something as I am trying to get my actuarial credentials and have been studying too hard lately. Someone else on this forum may be able to chime in.

I hope they will. I've tried that answer already.. and then it asks for the greatest possible area. im am confused lol
 
oh man.. I messed up... I had the answer all along your right... I simply forgot to... Put the squared sign at the end of the answer 5640m^2 agh... im a idiot
