Explanation:

Given : You are laying an asphalt driveway. If the driveway is 19 feet long and 10.5 feet wide.

To find : How much surface area must you cover?

Solution :

The asphalt driveway is in the shape of a rectangle.

The length of the driveway is 19 feet.

The breadth of the driveway is 10.5 feet.

The formula of the area of the rectangle is

`A=l* b`

`A=19* 10.5`

`A=199.5ft^2`

Therefore,Option C is correct.

The surface area of driveway is 199.5 sq. ft.
