What is the square foot area of a rectangle measuring 22'0" in length and 15'6" in height?

• A. 330 sq ft
• B. 341 sq ft
• C. 355 sq ft
• D. 360 sq ft

Answer: (B)

Calculating the area of a rectangle means multiplying its length by its width, using consistent units. Here the length is 22 feet and the height is 15 feet 6 inches, which converts to 15.5 feet. Multiply 22 by 15.5: 22 × 15.5 = 330 + 11 = 341. So the area is 341 square feet. For context, using 15 feet would give 330 sq ft, and using 16 feet would give 352 sq ft, so 15.5 feet falls right between those values, matching 341.
