A rectangle measures 10ft 10in. tall and 2ft 11 in wide. what is the area of the rectangle?

Area of a rectangle is just length x height.

It probably looks confusing because of the numbers. So just change them into only inches; 12 inches in a foot.

So the rectangle is 10ft, 10inches tall ... or 10*12+10=130inches

The rectangle is 2ft 11inches wide ... or 2*12+11=35 inches

So now just multiple 130*35=4550 inches^2
