To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:
This problem provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle.
Thus, the solution is:
If the arithmetic is giving you trouble note that:
The sum total of the partial products is:
Example Question #31 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
A rectangle has a width of foot and a length of foot. Find the area of the rectangle.
To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:
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 of foot, the width and length conversions are:
Thus, the solution is:
