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.
