Answer 1

The area is 27 because 18 + half of 18 (9) = 27

Answer 2

Area of rectangle(A) is given by:

`A = bh` ....[1]

where,

b is the base and h is the height of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

kyleigh put a large rectangular sticker on her notebook.

The height of the sticker measures 18 cm.

⇒ h = 18 cm

Since, the base is half as long as the height.

⇒
`b = (18)/(2) = 9` cm

Substitute in [1] we have;

`A = 18 \cdot 9 = 162 cm^2`

Therefore, 162 square cm is the area of the notebook does the sticker cover.
