As, we have :
[tex] \\ [/tex]
So, to find area of rectangle, we have a formula :
[tex] \large \underline{\boxed{\bf{Area{(rectangle)} = length \times breadth}}}[/tex]
[tex] \tt : \implies Area = 15 \: inches \times \dfrac{5}{2} \: inches[/tex]
[tex] \tt : \implies Area = \dfrac{75}{2} \: inches^2[/tex]
[tex] \tt : \implies Area = 37.5 \: inches^2[/tex]
[tex] \\ [/tex]
Hence, Area of given rectangle is 37.5 inches².
