Answer:

4 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can use the formula

Area = L (length) x W (width)

2. The area is unknown so we can substitute it for a

  The length and width are both known, so we can plug them in.

a= 2 1/2 x 1 3/4

3. Solve by multiplying

a=4 3/8

Area of the rectangle is [tex]4\frac{3}{8}[/tex] meter square

What is Area?

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface

What is rectangle?

Rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

Length of the rectangle = [tex]2\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Width of the rectangle = [tex]1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Area of the rectangle = [tex](\frac{5}{2}).(\frac{7}{4})=\frac{35}{8}=4\frac{3}{8}[/tex] meter square

Hence, the area of the rectangle is [tex]4\frac{3}{8}[/tex] meter square
