Answer:
New area is 175 42/45 feet ²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Length l= 15 1/4
To proper fraction = 61/4 feet
Width w= 8 11/15
To proper fraction = 131/15 feet
Extention = 1 2/3
To proper fraction = 5/3
Dimensions of new rectangle
Length =61/4+5/3 = 183+20/12
LCM = 12 = 203/12
Width = 131/15+5/3= 131+25/15
LCM = 15 = 156/15
Area = 203/12*156/15= =31668/180
=31668/180
= 7917/45
= 175 42/45 feet ²
