Example Question #4 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Which could be the dimensions of a rectangle with the area ?
To find the area, simply multiply the sides of the rectangle. The only sides which add up to are:
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Give the area of the above rectangle in square centimeters.
Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, multiply each dimension by 100 to convert meters to centimeters. This makes the dimensions 200 centimeters by 500 centimeters.
Use the area formula, substituting :
Example Question #6 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Mr. Smith is planting a rectangular garden with a length of 5 ft and a width of 7 ft. What is the area of the garden?
The area of a rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
Example Question #8 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Sally's room measures 100 square feet. Which type of measurement is this?
Perimeter
Width
Volume
Area
Length
Area
Area is measured in units squared, and volume is measured in units cubed. Width, length, and perimeter are all measured in regular units.
Therefore, 100 square feet is the area of the room.
Example Question #7 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Robert needs to determine the area of his rectangular wall in order to buy the proper amount of paint at the store. When he measures his wall he determines that it is 12 feet high and 20 feet wide. If one can of paint covers 40 square feet of wall, how many cans of paint does Robert need?
Find the area of the wall -
Divide
6 cans of paint.

Example Question #11 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Joe has a rectangular poster that is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. What is the area of the poster?
The area of a rectangle is found by multiping the length times the width. Given that the length is 3 feet, the width is 2 feet, the total cubic area would be found using this equation:
Here is the equation with the appropriate numbers plugged in from the question:
6 square feet, or is the correct answer.
Example Question #12 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Leslie has a blanket that is in area. Jen has a blanket that is half the size of Leslie's blanket. How big is Jen's blanket?
If Jen's blanket is half as big as Leslie's blanket, and Leslie's blanket is , then we need to divide by 2 to find the area of Jen's blanket.
The area of Jen's blanket is .
Example Question #971 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the area (in square feet) of a rectangle with a length of feet and a width of feet?
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length times width.
Given that the width is 6 feet and the height is 7, the product of 6 and 7 is 42.
Therefore, 42 is the correct answer.
Example Question #12 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
If the area of a rectangle is 28 square inches and its width is 4 inches, what is the length in inches?
None of these
The area of a rectangle is equal to the width multiplied by the length, or:
If the area of a rectangle is 28 inches and the width is 4 inches, then plugging this into the equation we would get:
Divide both sides by 4 to solve.
