The wrapping paper is rectangular in shape.
The formula for the area of the wrapping paper(A) will be
[tex]A=\text{length}\times width[/tex]
Given that
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{length}=5\text{feet} \\ \text{width}=2\text{feet} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=5\times2=10ft^2 \\ \therefore A=10ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the wrapping paper is
[tex]A=10ft^2[/tex]
