Question

Use your ruler to draw a rectangle that measures

by 4 1/2 by 2 3/4 inches, and find its area.
​

Answer 1

Area of rectangle,
`A=(99)/(8)\ \text{inch}^2`

Explanation:

We have,

A rectangle that measures
`4(1)/(2)* 2(3)/(4)`.

It is required to find the area of the rectangle

The product of length and breadth of a rectangle is called its area. It can be calculated as :

`A=4(1)/(2)* 2(3)/(4)\\\\A=(9)/(2)* (11)/(4)\\\\A=(99)/(8)\ \text{inch}^2`

So, the area of the rectangle is
`(99)/(8)\ \text{inch}^2`.
