Question

find the area of a rectangular park which is 15 1/3 cm long and 13 1/2 cm wide

Answer 1

area of rectangular park = length × wide
=15 1/3 × 13 1/2
=46/3 × 27/2
=23×9
=207cm^2

Answer 2

The area of the park is 206.955 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

length of the park = 15 1/3

breadth/width of the park = 13 1/2

To find:

The area of the rectangular park

Solution:

The dimensions of the park are given in the mixed fraction form

So we will convert them into improper fractions to solve further

The length is 15 1/3 cm

= 45+1/3

= 46/3

Length in standard form = 15.333 cm

Similarly, the width is 13 1/2cm

= 26+1/2

= 27/2

Width in standard form= 13.5 cm

Using these dimensions in the formula to find the area

The area of the rectangular park = length X width

∴ Area of the rectangular park = 15.33 (13.5)

∴ Area of the rectangular park = 206.955 sq cm

Thus, the area of the given rectangular park is 206.955 sq. cm
