Answer 1

To find the total area of a rectangular town, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

In this case, the length is 4.2 miles and the width is 3.8 miles.

Calculating the area:

\[
\text{Area} = 4.2 \, \text{miles} \times 3.8 \, \text{miles} = 15.96 \, \text{mi}^2
\]

So, the total area of Oak Manor is 15.96 mi².

The correct response is:

**15.96 mi²** (15.96 mi squared)
