Solution

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)
