Question

Ava's closet measures 2.4 ft by 51 ft. What is the area of her closet?

A) 1224 Ft²
B) 1224 Ft
C) 144 ft²
D) 144 ft² ​

Answer 1

Our answer is A = 122.4 ft²

`\Large\texttt{Explanation}`

We are asked to find the area of Ava's closet; we're given that -

• the length of her closet is 2.4 ft
• the width is 51 ft

To find the area of the rectangle (assuming the closet is a rectangle), we use the formula for the area of the rectangle:

• 
  `\LARGE\textbf{A = l\,w}`

where

• a = area
• l = length
• w = width

substitute the values -

A = 2.4 * 51

A = 122.4 ft²

`\therefore` A = 122.4 ft²

Answer 2

A because if you multiply it, it will equal 1224. It’s not b because if it’s area the unit would be squared (unit)
