The flag in the shape of a rectangle has a base of 4.5 feet and a height of 2.5 feet. What is the area of the flag?
5.625 ft.²
11.25 ft.²
7 ft.²
8 ft.²
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: area = base * height.
Given that the base is 4.5 feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug in these values into the formula to find the area:
area = 4.5 feet * 2.5 feet = 11.25 ft.²
Therefore, the area of the flag is 11.25 ft.².
