Question

What is the area in square inches of an ordinary piece of copier paper?

Answer 1

`\boxed{A=93.5in^2}`

Explanation:

To find the area of an ordinary piece of copier paper I have attached a figure below. As you can see, this ordinary piece of copier paper is a rectangular shape having the following dimensions:

THE FIRST SIDE:

`L_(1)=8.5in`

THE SECOND SIDE:

`L_(1)=11in`

The area of a rectangle can be found as:

`A=L_(1)* L_(2)=(8.5)(11)=93.5in^2`
