Answer 1

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

Given:
- Length = 15.3 inches
- Width = 10.2 inches

The formula for the area \( A \) of a rectangle is:

\[
A = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
\]

Now substituting in the values:

\[
A = 15.3 \, \text{in} \times 10.2 \, \text{in}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
A = 156.06 \, \text{sq in}
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the area of rectangle JKLM is:

\[
\boxed{156.1 \, \text{sq in}}
\]
