A rectangle is 10 inches longer than it is tall. The height of the rectangle is 7 inches. What is the area of the rectangle?

If the height of the rectangle is 7 inches, then the length is 7 + 10 = 17 inches.

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its height. Therefore, the area of this rectangle is 17 inches x 7 inches = 119 square inches.

So, the area of the rectangle is 119 square inches.
