Question

what is the area of a rectangle measuring 39 inches by 94 inches? you do not need to include the unit measurement or unit type. only the numerical answer is necessary. round to the nearest tenth if necessary. review the linked section of the prealgebra textbook for problem help

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is \(A = l\times w\), where \(l\) is the length and \(w\) is the width. Here, \(l = 94\) and \(w = 39\).

Step2: Calculate the product

\(A=94\times39=(90 + 4)\times39=90\times39+4\times39=(90\times(40 - 1))+(4\times(40 - 1))=(90\times40-90\times1)+(4\times40 - 4\times1)=(3600 - 90)+(160 - 4)=3510+156 = 3666\)

Answer:

3666
