Answer:


\text{ Area=18 in}^2

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is represented as:


\text{Area}=\text{base}\cdot\text{height}

Therefore, if we have a base length of 3.4 approximated to 3 inches and a height of 5.9 approximated to 6 inches:


\begin{gathered} \text{ Area=}3\cdot6 \\ \text{ Area=18 in}^2 \end{gathered}
