Answer:
[tex]Area = \frac{3}{16} m^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Shape: Rectangle
[tex]Length = \frac{1}{2}\ m[/tex]
[tex]Width = \frac{3}{8}\ m[/tex]
Required
Determine the area of the rectangle;
Area is calculated as thus;
[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]
Substitute values for Length and Width
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{1 * 3}{2 * 8}[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{3}{16}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the rectangle is [tex]\frac{3}{16}m^2[/tex]
