A rectangle has a length of 9inches and a height of 1.5 feet. What is the area of the rectangle in square inches?
whoops
1.5 ft = 18 inches
so
9 * 18 = 162
1.5 * 9 = 13.5
he area of the rectangle is
18
B square feet.
Round your answers to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.
Well, with a length of 9 inches and a height of 1.5 feet, we'll need to first convert the height to inches to make our lives easier. 1.5 feet is equal to 18 inches, so now we have a rectangle with a length of 9 inches and a height of 18 inches. To find the area, we multiply the length by the width, so 9 inches times 18 inches is... *drumroll*... 162 square inches! Phew, that was a lot of math for a rectangle!
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is given as 9 inches. However, the height is given in feet, so we need to convert it to inches to ensure that the units are consistent.
There are 12 inches in one foot, so to convert 1.5 feet to inches, we multiply it by 12:
1.5 feet * 12 inches/foot = 18 inches
Now that we have the length and width in inches, we can calculate the area of the rectangle:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 9 inches * 18 inches = 162 square inches
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 162 square inches.
