Question

Ava draws a rectangle on grid paper showing 4 for length and 6 for width. Ava says the area of the rectangle is 10 square units. Which explains Avas error and correctly solves for the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

Ava's error is that she has calculated area using wrong formula. The correct formula for Area of Rectangle is Length x Width.

Using Ava's values of Length = 4 and Width = 6, the area of the rectangle is:

Area = Length x Width = 4 x 6 = 24 square units

Therefore, the correct area of the rectangle is 24 square units, not 10 as Ava calculated.
