What is the square foot area of a rectangle measuring 22 feet in length and 15 feet 6 inches in height?

• A. 320 sq ft
• B. 360 sq ft
• C. 341 sq ft
• D. 380 sq ft

Answer: (C)

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by its width. The height is given as 15 feet 6 inches, which converts to 15.5 feet (since 6 inches is half a foot). So the area is 22 feet × 15.5 feet = 341 square feet. The 341 sq ft result matches this calculation. If you used just 15 feet, you’d get 330 square feet, and with 16 feet you’d get 352 square feet, so the precise conversion to 15.5 feet is why 341 is correct.
