Example Questions

Example Question #42 : Plane Geometry

Isee rect.

Find the area of the rectangle shown above.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In this problem you are given the width and perimeter of the rectangle. However, to solve for the area of the rectangle you must first find the length of the rectangle. To do so, work backwards using the formula:

Perimeter=2(W+L)

24=2(7+L)

24=14+2L

2L=24-14=10

$L=\frac{10}{2}=5$

Now that you know the width and length of the rectangle, apply the area formula:

$Area=Width\times Length$

$Area=7\times 5= 35$

Example Question #61 : Geometry

A rectangle has a width of and a perimeter measurement of . Find the area of the rectangle.

Possible Answers:

126

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In this problem you are given the width and perimeter of the rectangle. However, to solve for the area of the rectangle you must first find the length of the rectangle. To do so, work backwards using the formula:

Perimeter=2(W+L)

32=2(9+L)

32=18+2L

2L=32-18=14

$L=\frac{14}{2}=7$

Now that you know the width and length of the rectangle, apply the area formula:

$Area=Width\times Length$

$Area=9\times 7= 63$

Example Question #63 : Geometry

Isee rect.

Find the area of the rectangle shown above.

Possible Answers:

19.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:

$Area= Width\times Length$

The image provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle.

Thus, the solution is:

$Area=6.5\times4=26$

Example Question #41 : Plane Geometry

A rectangle has a width of 8.5 and a length of . Find the area of the rectangle.

Possible Answers:

32.5

35.5

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:

$Area= Width\times Length$

This problem provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle.

Thus, the solution is:

$Area=8.5\times4=34$

If the arithmetic is giving you trouble note that:

$8\times 4 = 32$

$0.5=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}\times4=\frac{4}{2}=2$

The sum total of the partial products is:

32+2=34

Example Question #31 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle

A rectangle has a width of $\frac{3}{4}$ foot and a length of $\frac{1}{2}$ foot. Find the area of the rectangle.

Possible Answers:

4ft^2

127in^2

27in^2

54in^2

5.5ft^2

Correct answer:

54in^2

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:

$Area= Width\times Length$

This problem provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle. However, to select the correct answer it's necessary to convert the width and length measurements from feet to inches.

Since an inch is equal to $\frac{1}{12}$ of foot, the width and length conversions are:

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{12}=9 in.$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{6}{12}=6in.$

Thus, the solution is:

$Area=9\times6=54in^2$

Example Question #41 : Quadrilaterals

A rectangle has a width of and a perimeter measurement of . Find the area of the rectangle.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In this problem you are given the width and perimeter of the rectangle. However, to solve for the area of the rectangle you must first find the length of the rectangle. To do so, work backwards using the formula:

Perimeter=2(W+L)

34=2(9+L)

34=18+2L

2L=34-18=16

$L=\frac{16}{2}=8$

Now that you know the width and length of the rectangle, apply the area formula:

$Area=Width\times Length$

$Area=9\times 8= 72$
