The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. In this case, the length (the longer side) is 2 2/3 feet while the width (shorter side) is 1 2/3 feet. To multiply fraction, first convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 2/3 = 8/3
1 2/3 = 5/3
Multiplying the two fractions yield:
8/3 x 5/3 = 40/9 ft2
The final answer is 40/9 ft2 or 4 4/9 ft2.
Answer:
m∠E = 38.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
If you make a drawing it will help. What you have is a right triangle where you are given the adjacent side to ∠E and the hypotenuse.
The cosine of a angle = adjacent side/hypotenuse.
Therefore cos E = 32/41
arccos (32/41) = 38.7°
