The area of the rectangle is 135/32 or 4 whole number 7/32 whose side measures are 2 whole 1/4 and 1 whole 7/8.
It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.
The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:
Area of rectangle = length × width
We have side measures of the rectangle:
[tex]\rm a = 2\frac{1}{4} \\\\\rm b = 1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
The area of the rectangle A is given by:
[tex]\rm A = (2\frac{1}{4} )\times(1\frac{7}{8} )[/tex]
[tex]\rm A = (\frac{9}{4} )\times(\frac{15}{8} )[/tex]
[tex]\rm A = \frac{135}{32}[/tex] or
[tex]\rm A =4 \frac{7}{32}[/tex]
Thus, the area of the rectangle is 135/32 or 4 whole number 7/32 whose side measures are 2 whole 1/4 and 1 whole 7/8.
