Question

What is the area of this rectangle with dimensions 4/5 m and 7/9 m in square meters?

a) 28/45 square meters
b) 56/45 square meters
c) 63/20 square meters
d) 35/36 square meters

Answer 1

The area of the rectangle with dimensions 4/5 m by 7/9 m is calculated by multiplying the length and width. The formula is area = (4/5) m × (7/9) m, which equals 28/45 square meters. Answer (a) 28/45 square meters is therefore correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the dimensions are given as 4/5 m for the length and 7/9 m for the width. To find the area in square meters, we simply multiply these two values:

Area = Length × Width = (4/5) m × (7/9) m.

Now, let's calculate the area:

Area = (4 × 7) / (5 × 9)

Area = 28 / 45 square meters.

So, the area of the rectangle with dimensions 4/5 m by 7/9 m is 28/45 square meters. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 28/45 square meters.
