Find the area of the rectangle with the given base and height.
11ft, 3 in
I think answer is 33 ft squared but not sure if it isn't please tell me the correct answer and how you got it
not quite. you need to express everything in ft.
3 in = 1/4 ft
now see what you get
2.75 ft squared Is that right?
or 11/4 ft squared
better
Thanks!
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its base (length) by its height. In this case, the base is 11 feet, and the height is 3 inches.
However, before we proceed with the calculation, it is important to make sure that both measurements are in the same units. Since the height is given in inches, let's convert it to feet for consistency.
There are 12 inches in a foot, so 3 inches is equal to 3/12 = 0.25 feet.
Now, let's proceed with the calculation:
Area = Base * Height
Area = 11 feet * 0.25 feet
Area = 2.75 square feet
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.75 square feet.
