Example Question #133 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle

Find the area of a rectangle with width 4 and length 6.

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 24$

$\displaystyle 20$

$\displaystyle 12$

$\displaystyle 10$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 24$

Explanation:

To solve, simply use the formula for area. Thus,

$\displaystyle A=w*l=4*6=24$

Many students often envision length the width in a rectangle as dividing the particulr side into so many rows, so they can envision the number of square there would be and count them that way to verify.

Example Question #134 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle

Find the area of a rectangle with width 2 and length 3.

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle 10$

$\displaystyle 3$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 6$

Explanation:

To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a rectangle. Thus,

$\displaystyle A=w*l=2*3=6$

If the formula doesn't come easily, draw out a picture. Your rectangle will have 2 colums running horizantally and 3 vertically. If you add up the number of squares, it will equal 6 which is your area!

Example Question #135 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle

What is the length of a rectangular room with an area of 55ft^2 $\displaystyle 55ft^2$ and a width of 11ft? $\displaystyle 11ft?$

Possible Answers:

6ft $\displaystyle 6ft$

8ft $\displaystyle 8ft$

5ft $\displaystyle 5ft$

9ft $\displaystyle 9ft$

7ft $\displaystyle 7ft$

Correct answer:

5ft $\displaystyle 5ft$

Explanation:

$A=l\times w$ $\displaystyle A=l\times w$

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

$55=l\times 11$ $\displaystyle 55=l\times 11$

$\frac{55}{11}=\frac{l\times 11}{11}$ $\displaystyle \frac{55}{11}=\frac{l\times 11}{11}$

5=l $\displaystyle 5=l$

Example Question #136 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle

What is the length of a rectangular room with an area of 70ft^2 $\displaystyle 70ft^2$ and a width of 7ft? $\displaystyle 7ft?$

Possible Answers:

9ft $\displaystyle 9ft$

11ft $\displaystyle 11ft$

13ft $\displaystyle 13ft$

12ft $\displaystyle 12ft$

10ft $\displaystyle 10ft$

Correct answer:

10ft $\displaystyle 10ft$

Explanation:

$A=l\times w$ $\displaystyle A=l\times w$

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

$70=l\times 7$ $\displaystyle 70=l\times 7$

$\frac{70}{7}=\frac{l\times 7}{7}$ $\displaystyle \frac{70}{7}=\frac{l\times 7}{7}$

10=l $\displaystyle 10=l$
