Answer 1

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

$$A=l\cdot w$$

Where:

• $l$ is the length,
• $w$ is the width.

In this case, the length $l=4.56$ inches and the width $w=2.3$ inches.

Calculating the area:

$$A=4.56,\text{in}\cdot 2.3,\text{in}$$ $$A=10.488,{\text{in}}^2$$

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

The correct response is: 10.488 in²
