Example Question #413 : Geometry

Use the following rectangle to answer the question:

Rectangle1

Find the area.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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

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

 

Now, let's look at the rectangle.

Rectangle1

We can see the length of the rectangle is 6in. We can also see the width of the rectangle is 3in. 

Knowing this, we will substitute into the formula.  We get
