We are given a rectangle with a length of 5/6 ft and a height of 4/6 ft. To determine the area let's remember that the area of a rectangle is the product of the length by the height. Therefore, the area is:


A=((5)/(6)ft)((4)/(6)ft)

Solving the product we get:


A=(20)/(36)ft^2

Now, we simplify the result by dividing both sides by 4:


A=((20)/(4))/((36)/(4))ft^2=(5)/(9)ft^2

Therefore, the area is 5/9 square feet.
