Question

A rectangle is 3.25m long and 1.5m wide. What is the area?

Answer 1

Answer: A = 4.875 m^2

Explanation:

Our task is to find the area of a rectangle, given that:

• the length is 3.25 m
• the width is 1.5 m

A rectangle's area is given by
`A=LW`, where
`L` and
`W` are the length and width, respectively.

Plug the parameters into the formula

`A=3.25*1.5`

`A=4.875\;m^2}`

Answer 2

A = 4.875 m²

Explanation:

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width

here length = 3.25 m and width = 1.5 m , then

A = 3.25 × 1.5 = 4.875 m²
