Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 8 square ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

suppose length = x

width  = y

            ∴ x = 3 × 2 -2

              x = 6 -2

              x = 4

 Area of rectangle = length × width

                              A = 4 × 2

                                 = 8 square ft
