Answer:
The area would be [tex]6\frac{4}{5}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the area of a rectangle is:
A = l × w
where A is the area, l is the length, and w is the width.
For this rectangle, the length and the width are given to us. Lets make 2[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] the width and 2[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] the length (It does not matter which is the width and which is the length. If you were to swap the length and the width, you would still get the same answer.) Lets plug in 2[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] for w and 2[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] for l into the equation for the area of the rectangle.
A = 2[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] × 2[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Change 2[tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] and 2[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] into improper fractions. (It will make it easier to multiply.)
A = [tex]\frac{17}{7}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{14}{5}[/tex]
Multiply
A = [tex]\frac{17*14}{7*5}[/tex]
A = [tex]\frac{238}{35}[/tex]
Simplify and change into a mixed number.
A = [tex]6\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
The area would be [tex]6\frac{4}{5}[/tex].
I hope you find my answer helpful. :)
