Answer 1

To find the total area of Oak Manor, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

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

In this case, the length is 4.2 miles and the width is 3.8 miles.

Calculating the area:

\[ \text{Area} = 4.2 , \text{miles} \times 3.8 , \text{miles} = 15.96 , \text{mi}^2 \]

So, the total area is 15.96 mi² (or "15.96 mi squared").

The correct response is 15.96 mi².
