Answer:

22.7.....feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the length is 5 feet

and also the width is given in fractional form as  4 5/9

let's convert to decimal 4+0.55= 4.555555555555555

the width is a repeating decimal hence width = 4.5...feet

Step two:

The expression for the area is

A= lenght * width

A= 5*4.5

A=22.7...feet ^2

The area of the rectangle is 22.7 feet^2
