Question

One of your suitcases has a rectangular bumper sticker that says, "California or bust!" plastered across the side. The length and width of the bumper sticker are 4.56 inches by 2.3 inches. What is the total area of the bumper sticker? NOTE: A=l⋅w (2 points)Responses20.7936 in220.7936 in210.488 in210.488 in22.26 in22.26 in26.86 in2

Answer 1

To calculate the area of the rectangular bumper sticker, we can use the formula:

\[ A = l \cdot w \]

where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width.

In this case:

- Length (\( l \)) = 4.56 inches
- Width (\( w \)) = 2.3 inches

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ A = 4.56 \, \text{in} \times 2.3 \, \text{in} \]
\[ A = 10.488 \, \text{in}^2 \]

So, the total area of the bumper sticker is \( 10.488 \, \text{in}^2 \).

The correct answer is **10.488 in²**.
