Area of a rectangle is defined by A = lw
For us: l = 6.5 and w = 8.75

Or, A = 6.5ft(8.75ft) = 56.875ft²

Answer:

56.875ft²

Explanation:

Going by the dimension given , the cubicle must be a rectangle.

In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as an equiangular quadrilateral, since al the sides are at angle 90°. It is also known as a parallelogram containing a right angle

Rectangles has opposite sides that are parallel and of equal length.

Area of the cubicle

lx B

Length of the cubicle is 8.75 ft

Breadth of the cubicle is 6.5ft

For us: B = 6.5 and L = 8.75

Or, A = 6.5ft(8.75ft) = 56.875ft²

56.875ft² is the area of the cubicle
