Question

2. Alonzo built a rectangular sign that measured 2 3/4 feet in length by 1 1/2 feet in width. a. What is the area of the sign?

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

`\begin{gathered} \text{Length = 2}(3)/(4) \\ \text{ = }(11)/(4) \\ \text{Breadth = 1}(1)/(2) \\ \text{ = }(3)/(2) \\ \\ \text{Area of a rectangle = }(11)/(4)\text{ x }(3)/(2) \\ \text{ = }(33)/(8) \\ \text{ = 4}(1)/(8)feet^2 \end{gathered}`
