Example Question #1211 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
What is the length of a rectangular room with a perimeter of and a width of
We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
Example Question #231 : Plane Geometry
What could be the dimensions of a rectangle with an area of ?
Since area is length times width, the answer must equal 36 when multiplied. The only combination is 9cm by 4cm.
Example Question #2 : Rectangles
The above diagram shows a rectangular home within a rectangular yard. What is the area of the yard?
The area of the yard is the area of the smaller rectangle subtracted from that of the larger rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its height, so the larger rectangle has area
square feet,
and the smaller rectangle has area
square feet.
Subtract to get the area of the yard:
square feet.
Example Question #232 : Plane Geometry
Give the area of the rectangular swimming pool shown above.
The length and the width of the pool are 50 feet and 35 feet; the area of this rectangle is their product, or
square feet.
