4,500 square inches


4,000 square inches

260 square inches

Answer 1

The correct answer option is 4000 square inches

Explanation:

We are given that one side of a rectangle measures for 82 inches and the other side is 46 inches and we are to estimate the area of this rectangle.

To estimate the area, we need to round off the given dimensions to their closest values:

82 inches ---> 80 inches

46 inches ---> 50 inches

Estimated area of rectangle = 80 x 50 = 4000 square inches

Answer 2

4000 sq inches

Explanation:

A rectangle is given with sides 82 and 46 inches

We have to round off these dimensions to the nearest 10.

82 inches ~80 inches since 2 <5, we make it 0

Similarly 46 inches ~50 inches since 6>5

Now area

= length x width

=80(50)

=4000 square inches

Option 2 4000 sq inches is correct answer.
