You simplify a fraction by finding it's greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is what both numbers are divisible by. If they can both be divided by two, then you've simplified them a little bit. Keep going until you can't find a common number that can be divided by the two, and you've got your simplified fraction. For example, 10/5 = 1/2 since both 10 and 5 is divisible by 5.
For this case we have:
The area of the piece of fabric is given by 
Where


Substituting in the formula of the area we have:




Thus, the area of the piece of fabric is given by: 
Answer:

I'm pretty sure it is C. 45 because compass and straightedge is a right angle or an acute angle and 45 is less than a right angle
