Garrett is painting a prop for his school play. The prop is a rectangle that measures 5.75 feet by 7.25 feet. About how much area will he need to paint?

To find the area, we need to multiply the width by the length.

5.75 feet * 7.25 feet = 41.6875 square feet

Therefore, Garrett will need to paint about 41.6875 square feet of area.
