Question

Suppose on an Icelandic sheep farm, there was a sheep pen next to a barn. If the length of the pen is 16 meters and the width is 9 meters, what is the area of the sheep pen?

Answer 1

A = 144 m²

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the pen, l = 16 m

The breadth of the pen, b = 9 m

We need to find the area of the sheep pan. We know that the area of the rectangular shape is given by :

A = lb

Substituting all the values,

A = 16 m × 9 m

= 144 m²

So, the area of the sheep pen is 144 m².
