Question

Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 2 km by 5 km.

minimum area: 13.75 km2 maximum area: 6.75 km2

minimum area: 6.75 km2 maximum area: 13.75 km2

minimum area: 6.75 km2 maximum area: 10 km2

minimum area: 10 km2 maximum area: 13.75 km2

Answer 1

Minimum area: 6.75 km2, maximum area: 10 km2.

Explanation:

We are given that a rectangle has length = 2km and width = 5km.

Formula for area is :

Area = Length × Width

Plugging values in above formula for area, we get

Area = 2km × 5km

On multiplying 2 and 5, we get 10.

Therefore,

`Area = 10\ km^2`

So, the maximum area possible area is
`10\ km^2`.

Therefore, you can choose correct option as:

Minimum area: 6.75 km2, maximum area: 10 km2.
