Answer-
She does not have enough cloth. She needs 8 ft² of more cloth.
Solution-
Latisha needs 60 square feet of cloth.
She has a rectangular piece of cloth that measures 3 feet by 9 feet
Area of the rectangular piece cloth,
[tex]Area_1=3\times 9=27\ ft^2[/tex]
She also has a square piece that measures 5 feet on a side
Area of the square piece cloth,
[tex]Area_2=5^2=25\ ft^2[/tex]
Then,
[tex]\text{Total cloth area}=27+25=52\ ft^2[/tex]
As, 52 < 60, so she does not have enough cloth. She needs (60-52)=8 ft² cloth more.
