One of your suitcases has a rectagular bumper sticker that says, "California or bust!" Plastered across the side. The length and width of the bumper sticker are 4.56 inches by 2.3 inches. What is the total area of the bumper sticker?

Answer 1

To find the total area of the rectangular bumper sticker, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

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

Given that the length of the bumper sticker is 4.56 inches and the width is 2.3 inches, you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 4.56 , \text{inches} \times 2.3 , \text{inches} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Area} = 10.488 , \text{square inches} \]

Thus, the total area of the bumper sticker is \( \mathbf{10.488} \) square inches.
