Question

The width of the rectangle shown below is 6 inches (in.).

The length is 2 feet (ft).
What is the area of the rectangle in square inches?

Answer 1

144 in.²

Explanation:

To convert ft to in. multiply ft by 12.

That means that 2 ft = 2 ft × 12 = 24 in.

width = 6 in.

length = 2 ft = 24 in.

area = length × width

area = 24 in. × 6 in.

area = 144 in.²
