Question 784312
the area of a rectangle:

{{{A=LW}}} where {{{L}}} is the length and {{{W}}} is the width 


 if the length {{{L}}} is {{{14ft}}} and {{{8in}}}   and the width {{{W}}} is {{{5ft}}} and {{{6in}}}, first convert either inches to feet or feet to inches

{{{1ft=12in}}} 
or
{{{1in=(1/12)ft=0.08333ft}}}

so, I would take {{{1ft=12in}}}

then {{{L=14ft+8in=14*12in+8in=176in}}} and {{{W=5ft+6in=5*12in+6in=66in}}}

and your area will be:

{{{A=LW}}}

{{{A=176in*66in}}}

{{{A=11616in^2}}}

or in square feet

{{{1in^2=0.006944ft^2 }}}

{{{A=11616*0.006944ft^2}}}

{{{A=80.67ft^2}}}
