The area of the canvas is 128[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The length (l) of the canvas = [tex]13\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet
The width (b) of the canvas = [tex]9\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet
To find the area of the canvas.
Formula
The area of the rectangle = l×b sq ft
Here,
The area of the canvas = [tex]13\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]9\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq feet
= [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{19}{2}[/tex] sq feet = [tex]\frac{513}{4}[/tex] sq feet = 128[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq feet
The area of the canvas is 128[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sq feet.
