To determine the area of the rectangular window in square inches, we can follow these steps:
1. Determine the dimensions of the window in feet.
- Length: 3 feet
- Width: 2 feet
2. Calculate the area of the window in square feet.
- The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is: [tex]\( \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \)[/tex]
- Substituting the given dimensions: [tex]\( \text{Area in square feet} = 3 \text{ ft} \times 2 \text{ ft} = 6 \text{ square feet} \)[/tex]
3. Convert the area from square feet to square inches.
- We know that 1 square foot is equivalent to 144 square inches.
- Therefore, to convert square feet to square inches, we multiply the area in square feet by 144.
- So, [tex]\( \text{Area in square inches} = 6 \text{ square feet} \times 144 \text{ square inches/square foot} = 864 \text{ square inches} \)[/tex]
Thus, the area of the window in square inches is [tex]\( \boxed{864} \)[/tex].
