Question
In the top 3 rows, the first four sections from the left are shaded. Above the rectangle, the label four-fifths ft. describes the shaded columns. To the left of the rectangle, the label three-fourths ft. describes the shaded rows. To the right of the rectangle, a bracket runs the length of the rectangle and is labeled 1 ft. Below the rectangle, a bracket runs the length of the rectangle and is labeled 1 ft.

It looks like you are describing a diagram or a grid layout where certain sections are shaded, and dimensions are annotated. From your description, I understand the following geometric configuration:
1. **Shaded Areas:**
- The top 3 rows have the first four sections (columns) shaded. This indicates a portion of a grid that is filled in.
2. **Dimensions:**
- The top of the rectangle is labeled "four-fifths ft." This suggests that the width of the shaded area across those four sections is 4/5 feet.
- To the left of the rectangle, it is noted that the height of the shaded area is "three-fourths ft." This implies that the height of the top 3 rows is 3/4 feet.
- The overall width of the rectangle is labeled "1 ft" to the right of it, and also below it, which appears to indicate that the total rectangle has a width of 1 foot.
3. **Square Foot Units:**
- It's noted as "square foot," which generally indicates areas being measured in square feet, confirming the context is about area calculation.
### Calculation of Area:
To find the area of the shaded section based on your description:
- **Width of rectangle**: Given as 4/5 ft (the dimension of the shaded area).
- **Height of rectangle**: Given as 3/4 ft (the dimension of the shaded area).
Using the formula for area (Area = Width × Height):
\[
\text{Area} = \left(\frac{4}{5}\ \text{ft}\right) \times \left(\frac{3}{4}\ \text{ft}\right)
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 4} = \frac{12}{20} = \frac{3}{5}\ \text{square feet}
\]
So, the area of the shaded portion of the rectangle is **3/5 square feet**.
