Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width.

Given:

• Length = 11.5 inches
• Width = 4.4 inches

Area = Length × Width Area = 11.5 inches × 4.4 inches

Calculating:

\[ 11.5 \times 4.4 = 50.6 \]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is \( 50.6 \) square inches.

Expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth, the area is:

50.6 square inches.
