What is the area of the new rectangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since the ladybug is
`3.3cm` far from each edge of the rectangle, it follows that the length of the new rectangle is
`3.3cm+9.5cm + 3.3cm = 16.1cm` and the width is
`3.3cm+7.5cm + 3.3cm = 14.1cm`.

Recall a formula for the area of a rectangle:
`A = l \cdot w`, where
`l` is a length and
`w` is a width of the rectangle.

Substitute
`l=16.1cm` and
`w=14.1cm` into the formula:

`A=16.1cm\cdot 14.1cm`

Multiply the numbers:

`A=`
`227.01cm^(2)`

Therefore, the required area is equal to
`227.01cm^(2)`.
