Answer 2

The area of window is
`49(5)/(6)` ft²

Explanation:

Given : A rectangular window with width
`8(2)/(3)` ft and height
`5(3)/(4)` ft.

We have to find the area of the window.

Since, The window is in shape of a rectangle so area of window is equal to area of rectangle.

Area of rectangle = Length × breadth

Here, Length =
`8(2)/(3)=(26)/(3)` ft

and height= breadth =
`5(3)/(4)=(23)/(4)` ft.

Substitute, we have,

Area of rectangle =
`(26)/(3)* (23)/(4)`

Simplify, we have,

Area of rectangle =
`(598)/(12)=(299)/(6)`

writing in mixed fractions, we have,

Area of rectangle =
`49(5)/(6)`

Thus, The area of window is
`49(5)/(6)` ft²
