<u>Answer:</u>

Minimum possible area = 6.75 km^2

Maximum possible area = 13.75 km^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

This question relates to significant figures so assuming that each of the given values is rounded off to the nearest kilometer.

So we can find the minimum and maximum possible areas of the rectangle.

Minimum possible area of rectangle = 1.5 × 4.5 = 6.75 square kilometers

Maximum possible area of rectangle = 2.5 × 5.5 = 13.75 square kilometers
