Question

A: 39.5
B: 37.5
C: 35
D: 30

Answer 1

`\Large \underline{\tt Given} :`

`\\`

• Length of rectangle = 15 inches
• Breadth of rectangle =
  `\tt 2(1)/(2) \: inches = (5)/(2) \: inches`

`\\`

`\Large \underline{\tt To \: Find} :`

`\\`

• Area of rectangle = ?

`\\`

`\Large \underline{\tt Solution} :`

`\\`

As, we have :

• Length of rectangle = 15 inches
• Breadth of rectangle =
  `\tt (5)/(2) \: inches`

`\\`

So, to find area of rectangle, we have a formula :

`\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{Area{(rectangle)} = length * breadth}}}`

`\tt : \implies Area = 15 \: inches * (5)/(2) \: inches`

`\tt : \implies Area = (75)/(2) \: inches^2`

`\tt : \implies Area = 37.5 \: inches^2`

`\\`

Hence, Area of given rectangle is 37.5 inches².
