Question

Round each measurement to the nearest ten. Then estimate the area of the rectangle. The rectangle shows one side is 86 inches and another side is 42 inches.

Answer 1

Rounding the given dimensions first, we get length = 90 in and width = 40 in.

Then the estimated area of the rectangle is (90 in)(40 in) = 3600 in^2 (answer)

Answer 2

area of the rectangle = 3600 square inches

Explanation:

Given :

One side = 86 inch

Other side = 42 inch

Rounding off the dimension to the nearest ten, we will get

One side = 90 inch

Other side = 40 inch

Therefore, the area of the rectangle = length x width

or the area of the rectangle = one side x other side

= 90 x 40

= 3600 square inches

Thus, area of the rectangle = 3600 square inches
