A science fair poster is a rectangle 36 inches long and 24 inches wide what is the area of the poster in square feet with sure to include the correct unit in your answer

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the area of the rectangle ins square inches and after we are going to convert it to square feet, so we obtain the following:

Area of the rectangle=36 inches * 24 inches = 864 square inches

Now, let's convert it to square feet, then we have:

`\begin{gathered} 864in^2\cdot(1ft^2)/(144in^2) \\ =6ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Finally we obtain that the area in square feet of the rectangle is 6 square feet.
