Respuesta :

2348.4 cm² is the area of the rectangle with a length of 26 inches and width of 14 inches.

What is the area of the rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is expressed as;

Area = length × width

Given the data in the question;

  • Length of the rectangle = 26 in
  • Width of the rectangle = 14 in
  • Area = ?

First, we convert the units of measurement from inches to centimeters.

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

Length = ( 26 ×  2.54 )cm =  66.04 cm

Width = ( 14 × 2.54 )cm = 35.56 cm

Area = length × width

Area = 66.04 cm × 35.56 cm

Area = 2348.3824 cm²

Area = 2348.4 cm²

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 2348.4 square centimeters.
