Question

Rectangle measures 2 1/4 units by 4 and 1/2 units what is the area

Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} \text{length of the rectangle = }2(1)/(4) \\ \text{width = }4(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{ For any rectangle,} \\ \text{area of the rectangle = length }*\text{ width} \end{gathered}`

In our case,

`\text{the area of the rectangle = }2(1)/(4)*4(1)/(2)=(9)/(4)*(9)/(2)=(81)/(8)=10(1)/(8)\text{ square units}`

Therefore,

the area is 10 1/8 square units
