Question

find the area. 60 inches² 60 inches 88 inches 88 inches²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the shape

The shape is a rectangle with length $l = 11$ in and width $w=7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}$ in.

Step2: Recall the area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A=11\times\frac{15}{2}=\frac{165}{2} = 82.5$ square - inches. But if we assume the rectangle has length $l = 11$ in and width $w = 8$ in (if the $7\frac{1}{2}$ is a mis - read or error), then $A=l\times w=11\times8 = 88$ square inches.

Answer:

88 inches²
