Question

Koji is installing a rectangular window in an office building. The window is 8 2/3 ft wide and 5 3/4 ft high. The formula for the area of a rectangle is A=bh. What is the area of the window? Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of window is $49\frac{5}{6}$ ft²  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A rectangular window with width $8\frac{2}{3}$ ft and height $5\frac{3}{4}$ ft.

We have to find the area of the  window.

Since, The window is in shape of a rectangle so area of window is equal to area of rectangle.

Area of rectangle = Length × breadth

Here, Length = $8\frac{2}{3}=\frac{26}{3}$ ft

and height= breadth = $5\frac{3}{4}=\frac{23}{4}$ ft.

Substitute, we have,

Area of rectangle = $\frac{26}{3}\times \frac{23}{4}$

Simplify, we have,

Area of rectangle = $\frac{598}{12}=\frac{299}{6}$

writing in mixed fractions, we have,

Area of rectangle = $49\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, The area of window is $49\frac{5}{6}$ ft²

Answer 2

A = (8 2/3)*(5 3/4) = 49 5/6.
