Answer:
(729)/(4)\ in.^2

Explanation:

Given

length of each patch is
2\ (1)/(4) in.

The size of the quilt is
6* 6 array i.e. there are
6^2 patch available

The area of each patch is


\Rightarrow (9)/(4)* (9)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow (81)/(16)\ in.^2

The area of the whole quilt is


\Rightarrow 36* (81)/(16)\\\\\Rightarrow (729)/(4)\ in.^2
