Area of rectangle = Length×Breadth

As given in the question

Length =2 feet 8 inches

Breadth = 2 feet 4 inches

First convert feet into inches

1 feet = 12 inches

2 feet 8 inches = 2×12 + 8

                       =  32 inches

Also

2 feet 4 inches  = 2×12 +4

                          = 28 inches

put is in the above formula

Area of plywood = 32 ×28

                            = 896 inches²
