Question

Ricky's computer monitor is a rectangle. The length is 15 inches and the with is 12 inches. Estimate the area of the monitor

Answer 1

For the exact answer it is 180 which is still technically estimated

Answer 2

Well, area is length times width. So, we are multiplying 20 times 10, because 15 is closer to 20 and 12 is closer to 10. Therefore, 2 times 1 is 2, add two zeroes to the end and you get 200 inches!
