A rectangle has a length of 8 inches

and a width of 6 inches.

What is the area of the rectangle?

A = 48 inches ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by

A = lw

A = 8 * 6

A = 48 inches ^2

We can find the area of the rectangle using the formula below.

Area = length * width

Since the length is 8 inches and the width is 6 inches, we can plug this information into the formula to get (8 in.) (6 in.)

which simplifies to 48 in.².

So the area of the rectangle is 48 in.².
