find the area of the rectangle with the given base and height. >>>> 4ft, 4in?

Question

and please dont say u multiply 4x4...because as u can see one is ft and the other one is in.

Answer 1

convert 4 ft into in... gives you 48 in, therefore area is 192 sq in

Answer 2

As u say u can not multiply the sides together as u have mixed units.

4 ft 4 inches = 4 & 4/12 ft (since there are 12 inches in 1 foot)
= 4&1/3 ft
= 4.33 ft
Then when u multiply side and base together your answer will be in square feet.
If the answer is required in square inches then convert the 4ft to inches (4x12=48) then add the 4 inches= 52inches, then do the area calculation.

HAve fun

Answer 3

Change the feet to inches.......12 inches in a foot

Height = 4 x 12 >> Height = 48in

Area of a rectangle or square = base x height >> 48in x 4in= Area

Area = 192 inches or 16 feet

Answer 4

Area of a rectangle = ab = where a,b are length of the sides. convert first the inches to ft. 1ft = 12 inches therefore, 4ft x 0.3333 ft = 1.333 ft^2

Answer 5

Convert one or the other to the same units...
4in = 4in*ft/12in = 1/3ft
4ft = 4ft*12in/ft = 48in
So..
A = 1/3ft * 4ft = 4/3ft^2
or
A = 48in * 4in = 192in^2

Answer 6

4ft = 12 * 4 = 48

48 * 4 = 192 in^2

or

4/12 = (1/3)

(1/3) * 4 = (4/3) ft^2

Answer 7

192 sq inches

Answer 8

192in
