Calculate the area of a poster that measures 40 inches by 14 inches?

SHOULD BE SQ INCHES it equals 560 sq inches

i think so, but you made a mistake on your question.

Yes, Diane. :-) It's 560 square inches.

To calculate the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the poster is 40 inches and the width is 14 inches. So, to find the area, you would multiply 40 by 14:

Area = Length x Width
Area = 40 inches x 14 inches
Area = 560 square inches

Therefore, the area of the poster is 560 square inches.
