Question

A rectangle has length 7 inches and width 3 inches.

Sketch the rectangle and determine its area, with units.

Answer 1

The area of rectangle is 21 in^2

Explanation:

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

`A=LW`

where

L is the length

W is the width

In this problem we have

`L=7\ in`

`W=3\ in`

substitute

`A=(7)(3)=21\ in^2`

The draw in the attached figure

therefore

The area of rectangle is 21 in^2
