Answer 1

To find the area of the bumper sticker, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

\[ A = l \times w \]

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

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

Now we can calculate the area:

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

So, the total area of the bumper sticker is **10.488 in²**.
