Answer 1

To find the area of the sandbox, we can use the formula for the area \( A \) of a rectangle, which is given by:

\[ A = l \times w \]

Where:

• \( l \) is the length
• \( w \) is the width

Given:

• Length \( l = 36.4 \) inches
• Width \( w = 24.8 \) inches

Substituting the values into the equation:

\[ A = 36.4 \times 24.8 \]

Now we will simplify the equation by multiplying \( 36.4 \) and \( 24.8 \):

\[ A = 36.4 \times 24.8 = 903.52 , \text{in}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the sandbox is 903.52 in².
