Explanation

The correct answer is $986$ . The area, $A$ , of a rectangle is given by $A = l w$ , where $l$ is the length of the rectangle and $w$ is its width. It’s given that the length of the rectangle is $34$ centimeters (cm) and the width is $29$ cm. Substituting $34$ for $l$ and $29$ for $w$ in the equation $A = l w$ yields $upper A equals left parenthesis 34 right parenthesis left parenthesis 29 right parenthesis$ , or $upper A equals 986$ . Therefore, the area, in square centimeters, of this rectangle is $986$ .
