Arthur is cutting construction paper into rectangles for a project. He needs to cut one rectangle that is 16 inches × 12 1 4 inches. He needs to cut another rectangle that is 10 1 2 inches by 10 1 4 inches. How many total square inches of construction paper does Arthur need for his project?

303.63 sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of the two rectangles he cuts and add them together.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

A = L * B

The first rectangle is 16 inches × 12 1/4 inches. Its area is:

A = 16 * 12 1/4 = 16 * 49/4 = 196 sq inches

The second rectangle is 10 1/2 inches by 10 1/4 inches. Its area is:

A = 10 1/2 * 10 1/4 = 21/2 * 41/4 = 107.63 sq inches

The total square inches of construction paper that he needs is:

196 + 107.63 = 303.63 sq inches

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared
