Geometry: Perimeter and Area Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

The length of a rectangular banner is 3 feet 2 inches, and the width is 2 feet 4 inches. Which one of the following equals the area of the banner?

5 sq. feet

\frac{1}{2}

sq. feet

\frac{1}{3}

sq. feet

7 sq. feet

\frac{7}{18}

sq. feet

Explanation:

Correct Answer: E

First, let’s convert all the measurements to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 2 inches equals $\frac{2}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ feet, and 4 inches equals $\frac{4}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ feet.

Hence, 3 feet 2 inches equals 3 $\frac{1}{6}$ feet, and 2 feet 4 inches equals 2 $\frac{1}{3}$ feet.

Now, the area of a rectangle is length × width. Hence, Area = 3 $\frac{1}{6}$ × 2 $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{19}{6}$ × $\frac{7}{3}$ = $\frac{133}{18}$ = 7 $\frac{7}{18}$

The answer is (E).
