Explanation

The correct answer is $2,048$ . The area $A$ , in square inches, of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length $l$ , in inches, and its width $w$ , in inches, or $A = l w$ . It's given that the rectangle has a length of $64$ inches and a width of $32$ inches. Substituting $64$ for $l$ and $32$ for $w$ in the equation $A = l w$ yields $upper A equals left parenthesis 64 right parenthesis left parenthesis 32 right parenthesis$ , or $upper A equals 2,048$ . Therefore, the area, in square inches, of the rectangle is $2,048$ .
