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

Answer:

Area of rectangle, $A=\dfrac{99}{8}\ \text{inch}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

A rectangle that measures $4\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\dfrac{3}{4}$.

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 :

$A=4\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\A=\dfrac{9}{2}\times \dfrac{11}{4}\\\\A=\dfrac{99}{8}\ \text{inch}^2$

So, the area of the rectangle is $\dfrac{99}{8}\ \text{inch}^2$.
