Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 7 \frac{13}{20} \ in. ^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the rectangle = [tex]\displaystyle 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \ in.[/tex]
Width of the rectangle = [tex]\displaystyle 3 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{17}{5} \ in.[/tex]
Area of the rectangle:
= Length × Width
[tex]\displaystyle = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{17}{5} \\\\= \frac{9 \times 17}{4 \times 5} \\\\= \frac{153}{20} \\\\= 7 \frac{13}{20} \ in.^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]
