Hiccup’s Enclosure

My baby crested gecko, Hiccup is settling in nicely into his new

home. But it’s time to change the bottom of his enclosure. At the pet
store there are a couple options to choose from. I want to save money
and buy the package of coconut fibres that is the closest in area to the
bottom of Hiccup’s home.

● Hiccup’s enclosure is 8cm by 7cm.

● The coconut fibres come in packages that vary in size:
● A small package costs $15.75 covers an area of 45cm2
● A medium package costs $30.50 covers an area of 65cm2
● A large package costs $45.75 covers an area of 85cm2

#1.) Draw the dimensions of Hiccup’s enclosure on the Graph Paper handout

#2.) Calculate the area of the enclosure

#3.) Shade in the area of Hiccup’s inclosure with a pencil crayon

#4.) Which package should I buy in order to save money and have enough to cover
the bottom of Hiccup’s enclosure ?
#5.) What size and how many packages would I need to cover the bottom of an
enclosure that is twice the size of Hiccup’s ?
