To find the area of a rectangle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]
In this case, the length of the painting is 2 feet and the width is \(\frac{5}{6}\) foot. Plugging in these values:
\[ \text{Area} = 2 , \text{feet} \times \frac{5}{6} , \text{feet} \]
Calculating this:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{2 \times 5}{6} = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} , \text{square feet} \]
So, the area of the painting is \(\frac{5}{3}\) square feet, which is approximately 1.67 square feet when expressed as a decimal.
