Question

Rectangle ABCD is congruent to rectangle HGJK

Answer 1

Answer: 198 in.²

Explanation:

If two shapes are congruent they have the same shape and size.

A = L x W

18 x 11 = 198

Answer 2

The area of rectangle ABCD is 198 square inches.

Explanation:

It is given that rectangle ABCD is congruent to rectangle HGJK.

The corresponding parts of congruent figure are congruent.

`AD\cong HK` (CPCTC)

`AD=HK=18` (Property of congruent)

In rectangle ABCD the length of the rectangle is 11 inches and width of the rectangle is 18 inches.

The area of a rectangle is

`A=length* width`

The area of rectangle ABCD is

`A=AB* AD`

`A=11* 18`

`A=198`

Therefore the area of rectangle ABCD is 198 square inches.
