Answer 2

C.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is typically written as:

`A = l x w`

where: l represents the length and w represents the width.

Since, in the given problem, we already know the value of the length which is 14.4 inches, and the value of width is one-third of the length. Thus, the width would be:

`= (14.4)((1)/(3))\\= (24)/(5) \\= 4.8 inches`

We will simply substitute this value to the formula to get the area.

`A = lxw\\A = (14.4)(4.8)\\A = 69.12 in^(2)`
