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

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

Given:

  • Length = 4.2 miles
  • Width = 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 of Oak Manor is 15.96 mi² (15.96 square miles).

The correct response is:

15.96 mi² (or 15.96 mi squared).
