Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula to find area is . We are given the length and the width from the problem, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve. 

*Remember, area is the number of square units inside a shape, which is why area is always written with square units. 

Example Question #2 : Geometric Concepts

What is the length of a rectangular room with a perimeter of  and a width of 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.

Example Question #1 : Number Sense And Operations

What is  rounded to the nearest ten? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When we round a number to the tens place we look to our ones place to tell us if we round up or down. If the number in our ones place is  or greater, we round up. If the number in the ones place is  or less, we round down. When we round up, the number in the tens place increases by . The numbers to the right of the tens place become  and the numbers to the left of the tens place stay the same. When we round down, the number in the tens place stays the same. The numbers to the right of the tens place become  and the numbers to the left of the tens place stay the same.

In this case,  is less than  so our rounded number is
