Answer 1

To find the total area of the bumper sticker, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]

Given that the length is 4.56 inches and the width is 2.3 inches, we can calculate the area as follows:

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

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Area} = 10.488 , \text{in}^2 \]

So the total area of the bumper sticker is 10.488 in².

The correct response is 10.488 in².
