Question

A science fair poster is a rectangle 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. What is the area of the poster in square inches?

Answer 1

The answer is 144 inches squared.

Answer 2

Hi there!

To solve this problem, first, we need to find the area of the poster in square feet, and then convert it into inches.

Since the formula for finding the area of a rectangle is length * width, we do just this:

4 * 3 = 12

So, the area is 12 feet squared.

Now, since

1 ft = 12 in,

We can multiply the area of 12 by 12.

12 * 12 = 144

So, the answer is 144 inches squared.

Hope this helps!
