How to find area of a rectangle?

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 = $1\frac{1}{24}$ ft
