Answer 1

To find the area of the bumper sticker, we can use the formula for the area \( A \) of a rectangle, which is given by:

\[ A = l \times w \]

where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width.

Given:

• Length \( l = 4.56 \) inches
• Width \( w = 2.3 \) inches

Now, we can plug in the values:

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

Now, we can perform the multiplication:

\[ A = 4.56 \times 2.3 = 10.488 , \text{in}^2 \]

So, the total area of the bumper sticker is:

\[ \boxed{10.488 , \text{in}^2} \]

The correct response is A 10.488 in².
