Answer: [tex]A=100ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the following formula calculate the area of a rectangle:
[tex]A=w*h[/tex]
Where "w" is the width of the rectangle and "h" is the height of the rectangle.
In this case you know that this rectangle is 12.5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. Therefore, you can substitute values into the formula to find its area.
Then, you get that the area of this rectangle is the following:
[tex]A=(12.5ft)(8ft)\\\\A=100ft^2[/tex]
