Area of the rectangle is 8¹/₈ in²
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:
Area of Square = (Length of Side)²
Perimeter of Square = 4 × (Length of Side)
Area of Rectangle = Length × Width
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )
Area of Rhombus = ½ × ( Diagonal₁ + Diagonal₂ )
Perimeter of Rhombus = 4 × ( Length of Side )
Area of Kite = ½ × ( Diagonal₁ + Diagonal₂ )
Perimeter of Kite = 2 × ( Length of Side₁ + Length of Side₂ )
Let us now tackle the problem !
<u>Given:</u>
Length of Rectangle = L = 2¹/₂ in
Width of Rectangle = W = 3¹/₄ in
<u>Unknown:</u>
Area of Rectangle = A = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
This problem is about Area of Rectangle.
