Question

What is the area of the figure? A rectangle is cut out of a large rectangle. The larger rectangle has a base of 6 yards and height of 7 and one-fourth yard. The smaller rectangle inside has a base of 3 and two-thirds yard and height of 5 yards.

Answer 1

Small one: 18 and 1-thirds yards² Large one: 43.5 yards²

Explanation:

Area of rectangle= base*height

Large one: base = 6, height= 7.25 (7 and 1-fourth)

Area= 43.5yards²

Small one: base = 3(2/3 or 2-thirds), height= 5

change the mixed fraction 3(2/3) to 11/3

area= 11/3 * 5 = 55/3

change to mixed fraction which = 18(1/3)
