Answer: none of the options provided is correct. The area of the rectangle is 256 inches²

Explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The width of a rectangle is 8 inches. The length is 4 times its width. It means that the length of the rectangle is

4 × width = 4 × 8

Length = 32 inches

Therefore,

Area = 32 × 8 = 256 inches²
