So you want to find the area of the white space?

Vocaloid · Answer

Our answer units are in sq ft. We have one dimension (18 inches, the width of the window) that we must convert to ft. Since 1 foot = 12 inches, we can divide 18 inches by 12 inches to get 1.5 feet.

From there: area of a rectangle is length * width. Calculate the area of the window by multiplying the length * width of the window.
