For this case we have the data of a base and a height given by:


b = 1\ ft\\h = 6\ in

We convert the inches to feet.

We know that, by definition:

1 foot equals 12 inches

By making a rule of three we have:

1 ft ------------> 12 in

x ---------------> 6 in


x = \frac {6 * 1} {12}\\x = \frac {6} {12}\\x = \frac {1} {2}\\x = 0.5 \ ft

If the given figure is a rectangle, the area is given by:


A = b * h\\A = 1 * 0.5\\A = 0.5\ ft ^ 2

Answer:

If the given figure is a rectangle, the area is given by
A = 0.5\ ft ^ 2
