To find the area, simply multiply the base by the height

Area=base%2Aheight


Area=%281%2F6%29%2811%2F12%29 Plug in the base and the height


Area=%281%2A11%29%2F%286%2A12%29 Multiply the two numerators and the two denominators


Area=11%2F72 Multiply


So the area of the rectangle is 11%2F72 sq ft
