Example Question #421 : Geometry
Find the area of the rectangle.
The rectangle has a length of 12cm and a width of 7cm.
The formula to solve for the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width.
In this case that would be (12cm x 7cm).
12 x 7 is 84.
84 is then your answer. To finish your answer off with a label, you take (cm x cm) and that is where you get .
So your final answer is .
Example Question #422 : Geometry
Find the area of the following rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is three times the width of the rectangle. The width of the rectangle is 3cm.
First you must figure out the length of the rectangle.
The length was 3 times the width.
The width was 3cm, so 3 x 3 = 9.
The length of the rectangle is 9cm. Now that you have your length and width, you are able to use the formula to find the area of a rectangle which is length times width.
.
and ,
so your answer is .
Example Question #423 : Geometry
Find the area of the rectangle.
The width of the rectangle is half the length of the rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 12cm.
First you must find the width of the rectangle which is half of the length.
So our width is 6cm. Then you use the formula to solve for the area of a rectangle which is length times width.
Example Question #421 : Plane Geometry
The rectangle is made up of by squares. Use this information to help you solve the problem.
If each of the small boxes in the figure below measures 1 in by 1 in, what is the area of the entire shape?
We can count the number of squares within the shape to find the area.
There are squares within the shape, which means the area is
*Area is the number of square units inside a shape, which is why area is always written with square units.
Example Question #421 : Quadrilaterals
Annie has a piece of wallpaper that is by . How much of a wall can be covered by this piece of wallpaper?
This problem asks us to calculate the amount of space that the wallpaper will cover. The amount of space that something covers can be described as its area. In this case area is calculated by using the formula
