1. Convert Units:
* Since the length is in feet and the width is in inches, we need to convert them to the same unit. Let's convert the width to feet:
* There are 12 inches in a foot, so 15 inches is equal to 15/12 = 1.25 feet.
2. Calculate Area:
* The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length by width:
* Area = Length * Width
* Area = 10 feet * 1.25 feet
* Area = 12.5 square feet
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 12.5 square feet.
