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=lw. 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=lw yields A=6432, or A = 2,048 . Therefore, the area, in square inches, of the rectangle is 2,048 .
