Question

The length and width of a rectangle are each less than 1 unit long Wich statement is true about the rectangle? A: the area is greater than 2 square units B: the area is between 1 square unit and 2 square units C: the area is between 0 square units and 1 square unit D: the area equals 1 square unit

Answer 1

C: the area is between 0 square unit and 1 square unit.

Explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral which has equal and parallel opposite sides. Its area can be determined by;

Area of a rectangle = length x width

In the given question, the length and width of the rectangle are less than 1 unit long. Thus assume that the length is 0.9 cm and width is 0.6 cm, then;

Area = 0.9 x 0.6

= 0.54

Area = 0.54
`cm^(2)`

Thus, since the length and width are both less than 1, then the area of the rectangle is between 0 square units and 1 square unit.
