Question

What is the area in square inches of an ordinary piece of copier paper?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{A=93.5in^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of an ordinary piece of copier paper I have attached a figure below. As you can see, this ordinary piece of copier paper is a rectangular shape having the following dimensions:

THE FIRST SIDE:

$L_{1}=8.5in$

THE SECOND SIDE:

$L_{1}=11in$

The area of a rectangle can be found as:

$A=L_{1}\times L_{2}=(8.5)(11)=93.5in^2$
