Question

Which shapes have an area of 36 square units? Circle the letter for all that apply. A a square with sides that are 18 units long B a rectangle with a length of 9 units and a width of 4 units С a square with sides that are 6 units long D a rectangle with a length of 8 units and a width of 4 units

Answer 1

Given that the area(A) of the shapes is given as 36 square units.

Testing the correct options for confirmation

Option B

A rectangle with a length of 9units and width of 4units.

The formula for the area of a rectangle(A) is,

`\begin{gathered} A=\text{length }* width \\ A=9*4=36unit^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 36unit².

Option C

A square with sides that are 6 units long.

The formula for the area of a square is,

`\begin{gathered} A=\text{length}* length=l^2 \\ A=6*6=36unit^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the square is 36unit².

Hence, the correct options are Option B and C.
