Question

What is the area of a rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard

Answer 1

We are asked to find the area of the rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length.

To find the area of the given rectangle we will multiply both side lengths as:

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width}\times \text{Length}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ yard}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{5}{2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1\times5}{4\times2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{5}{8}\text{ yard}^2$

Therefore, the area of the given rectangle would be $\frac{5}{8}$ square yards.
