A model house is built on a base that measures 9 1/4 in. wide and 8 4/5 in. long. What is the total area of the model house's base?

Sagot :

9 1/4 = 9.25
8 4/5 = 8.8

The area of a rectangle ( the shape of the base ) is:

A = lw, where A = area, l = length and w = width.

So:

A = (9.25)×(8.8)
A = 81.4

So, the total are of the model house's base is 81.4 square feet, or 81 and 2/5 square feet.
