Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 7 \frac{13}{20} \ in. ^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangle = $\displaystyle 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \ in.$

Width of the rectangle =  $\displaystyle 3 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5} \ in.$

Area of the rectangle:

= Length × Width

$\displaystyle = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{17}{5} \\\\= \frac{9 \times 17}{4 \times 5} \\\\= \frac{153}{20} \\\\= 7 \frac{13}{20} \ in.^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
