Answer:

A. Area in square inches =  1760 square inches

B. Area in square feet = 12.2 square feet

C. 1 square inch = [tex]\frac{1}{144}[/tex] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of the rectangle (l) = 55 inches

Breath of the rectangle (b) = 32 inches

A. Area of the rectangle = length × breath

⇒ 55 × 32

⇒ 1760 square inches

Area in square inches =  1760 square inches

B. 1 foot = 12 inches

1 inch = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] feet

1 square inch = [tex]\frac{1}{144}[/tex] feet

∴ 1760 square inches = [tex]\frac{1760}{144}[/tex] feet

⇒ 12.2222 square feet

Area in square feet = 12.2 square feet

C. 1 square inch = [tex]\frac{1}{144}[/tex] feet
