Area of a rectangle

The area of a rectangle of width W and length L is calculated as follows:

A = W * L

The bedroom closet has a width of W=3.5 feet and a length of L=8.25 feet.

The area of the bedroom closet is:

A = 3.5 feet * 8.25 feet

Multiplying:

A = 28.875 square feet

The number of square feet in the floor of the closet is 28.875
