Given:
The number of square boxes in the horizontal direction is 4.
The number of square boxes in the vertical direction is 3.
The side measure of each square box is,
[tex]2\frac{1}{4}inches[/tex]To find: The area of the rectangle.
Explanation:
The formula of the area of the rectangle is,
[tex]A=l\times b[/tex]Here,
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=4\times2\frac{1}{4} \\ l=4\times\frac{9}{4} \\ \Rightarrow l=9inches \\ b=3\times2\frac{1}{4} \\ b=3\times\frac{9}{4} \\ \Rightarrow b=\frac{27}{4}inches \end{gathered}[/tex]The area of the rectangle is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=9\times\frac{27}{4} \\ =\frac{243}{4} \\ =60.75\text{ }square\text{ inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The area of the rectangle is 60.75 square inches.
