The area of a rectangular shelf with length of 1 2 / 3 ft and width of 5 / 8 ft is ft
<h3>How to find area of a rectangle?</h3>
A rectangle is a quadrilateral. It has 2 opposite sides equal to each other.
Therefore,
area of rectangle = lw
where
- l = length
- w = width
Therefore,
length = 1 2 / 3 = 5 / 3 ft
width = 5 / 8 ft
area = 5 / 3 × 5 / 8
area = 25 / 24 ft
area = ft

<h3>What is SAS similarity theorem?</h3>ΔABC ~ ΔDEF only if the ratio of two sides of ΔABC and corresponding two sides of ΔDEF is equal, and the angle included in both sides are congruent.
Suppose the two sides of ΔABC are AB and BC, and that of DEF be DE and EF, then for SAS similarity, we need
