Question

If a rectangle measures 8 feet on the short side and 9.8 feet on the kind side what is the area of the rectangle in square feet

Answer 1

Area of any rectangle is given by the formula:

$Area=length \times width$

Now, it is given to us that the rectangle measures 8 feet on the short side and 9.8 feet on the long side. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 9.8 feet and the width is 8 feet.

Substituting these values in the above equation for the area, we get:

$Area=9.8\times 8=78.4$ square feet

Answer 2

78.4 sq. ft.   9.8*8=78.4
