Answer:
Area of rectangular piece of paper is given by;
[tex]A = l \cdot w[/tex]
where
A is the area
l is the length and
w is the width of the rectangle respectively.
As per the given statement:
Kyle cut a 4 foot piece of construction paper to be 6.1 inches wide by 8.2 inches long.
⇒ Length of construction paper = 8.2 inches
width of the paper = 6.1 inches;
Then by formula of area:
we have;
[tex]A = 8.2 \cdot 6.1 = 50.02\text{inches}^2[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the piece of construction paper in square inches is 50.02 square inches.
