Example Question #343 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)

If the length of a rectangle is 7.5 feet and the width is 2 feet, what is the value of  if the area is ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. Here, the length is 7.5 and the width is 2, so the area will be 15. 

Given that the area is also equal to , the value of  will be 3, given that 3 times 5 is 15.

Example Question #30 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle

The area of a four-sided room that has dimensions of  will be the four wall lengths all added to together.  True or False?

Possible Answers:

False

True

Correct answer:

False

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the length times the width.  So to calculate it, you must multiple the two different lengths together.  Adding the four wall lengths would get you the perimeter instead.

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

Use the following to answer the question.

Rectangle4

Find the area of the rectangle if it's width is half of it's length.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we use the following formula:

where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

 

Now, given the rectangle,

Rectangle4

we can see the length is 12 feet.  We also know the width is half of the length.  Therefore, the width is 6 feet.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get
