The area means to multiply the length by the width.
let's solve.
14 1/2 x 13 1/4.
convert our fractions into decimals.
14 1/2 = 14.50
13 1/4 = 13.25
Now we can multiply properly.
14.50 x 13.25 = 192.125
since our shape is 2-Dimensional, our units are ^2.
Your area is:
192.25 ft^2

1/y = -3x /2 + 3
mulytiply each term by 2y:-
2 = -3xy + 6y
y = 2 / -3( (x - 2)
y = -0.667 (-2 + x)
