Answer:
Area of rectangle = 10 in.²
Area of triangle = 0.5 in.²
Square inches of plastic in bookmark = 9.5 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️Area of rectangle = Length × Width
Length = 5 in.
Width = 2 in.
Area of rectangle = 5 × 2 = 10 in.²
✔️Area of Triangle = ½*bh
b = 1 in.
h = 1 in.²
Area of triangle = ½*1*1
Area of triangle = 0.5 in.²
✔️Square inches of plastic in bookmark = area of rectangle - area of triangle
= 10 - 0.5 = 9.5 in²
