Answer:

14 2/21 cm²

Explanation:

Area = length × width

= 2 2/7 × 6 1/6

= 16/7 × 37/6

= 296/21

= 14 2/21

Answer:

11.8095238095 or 11.81

Explanation:

The way to figure out the area of a rectangle is by multiplying the width by the length. In your case, you would multiply 5 1/6 by 2 2/7 to get 11.8095238095 but we can always round it to 11.81. I hope this helps...
