Question

Kyle cut a 4 foot piece of construction paper to be 6.1 inches wide by 8.2 inches long. What is the area of the piece of construction paper in square inches

Answer 1

Area of rectangular piece of paper is given by;

`A = l \cdot w`

where

A is the area

l is the length and

w is the width of the rectangle respectively.

As per the given statement:

Kyle cut a 4 foot piece of construction paper to be 6.1 inches wide by 8.2 inches long.

⇒ Length of construction paper = 8.2 inches

width of the paper = 6.1 inches;

Then by formula of area:

we have;

`A = 8.2 \cdot 6.1 = 50.02\text{inches}^2`

Therefore, the area of the piece of construction paper in square inches is 50.02 square inches.
