Question

What is the area of a rectangle with length of 6.5 feet (ft) and width of 2.5 ft?

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula

`\begin{gathered} A=l\cdot w \\ \text{ Where l is the length and} \\ w\text{ is the width of the rectangle} \end{gathered}`

So, you have

`\begin{gathered} l=6.5\text{ ft} \\ w=2.5\text{ ft} \\ A=l\cdot w \\ A=6.5\text{ ft }\cdot2.5\text{ ft} \\ A=16.25\text{ ft}^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of this rectangle is 16.25 square feet.
