Answer 1

144in

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

`A = a * b`

Where:

a, b: They are the sides of the rectangle

We have as data that:

`a = 6 \ in\\b = 2 \ ft * \frac {12 \ in} {1 \ ft} = 24 \ in`

Thus, the area of the rectangle is:

`A = 6 * 24 = 144 \ in ^ 2`

ANswer:

`144 \ in ^ 2`
