Question

Samuel measured a piece of construction paper to be 6.75 inches wide by 8.25 inches long. What is the area of the piece of construction paper in square inches

Answer 1

Length of the construction paper = 8.25 inches

Width of the construction paper = 6.75 inches

Given the length and width of paper are different, the paper is rectangular,

So, area of rectangle = $length*width$

Area= $8.25\times6.75$

Area = 55.68 square inches.
