<PRE><B>Question 76922</B>
It is given that the sides of the rectangle is given by 8 1/2 inches and 11 inches.


8 1/2 inch can be written as:  8.5 inches


The area of the rectangle is given by length * breadth(width) 


Hence, Area = l * b 

      
      Area = 8.5 * 11 


      Area = 93.5 {{{inches^2}}}


Hence, the solution.
