Question

Rectangle with length 11 1/2 in. and width 8 in The area of this rectangle is____________

in2.

Answer 1

`92in.^(2)`

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle= L×W

If length= 11
`(1)/(2)`in. and width= 8in.,

∴ Area = 11
`(1)/(2)`in. × 8in.

=
`(23)/(2)` ×
`(8)/(1)`
`in.^(2)`

= (23 × 4)
`in.^(2)`

= 92
`in.^(2)`

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

look, area = length x width

so that means that the area of this rectangle is

= 11 1/2 * 8

= 23/2 * 8

= 23 * 4 (simplified)

= 92 in^2
