Question

4 in length and 2.6 in width What is the area in feet. Round to nearest hundredth place.

Answer 1

Given a rectangle of the dimension

`\begin{gathered} \text{Length}=L=4\text{ in} \\ \text{Breadth}=B=2.6\text{ in} \end{gathered}`

To find the area, A, of a rectangle, the formula is

`A=LB`

Where

`\begin{gathered} 1ft=12\text{in} \\ 4\text{ in}=(1)/(3)ft \\ 2.6\text{ in}=(13)/(60)ft \end{gathered}`

Substitute the values into the formula above

`\begin{gathered} A=LB \\ A=(1)/(3)*(13)/(60)=(13)/(180)=0.07222ft^2 \\ A=0.07ft^2\text{ (nearest hundredth)} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is 0.07ft² (nearest hundredth)
