Given:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{length of the rectangle = }2\frac{1}{4} \\ \text{width = }4\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ For any rectangle,} \\ \text{area of the rectangle = length }\times\text{ width} \end{gathered}[/tex]In our case,
[tex]\text{the area of the rectangle = }2\frac{1}{4}\times4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{4}\times\frac{9}{2}=\frac{81}{8}=10\frac{1}{8}\text{ square units}[/tex]Therefore,
the area is 10 1/8 square units
