long. Which rectangle described below has the same area?
F 5 inches wide and 25 inches long
G 8 inches wide and 25 inches long
H 15 inches wide and 15 inches long
J 15 inches wide and 25 inches long

Answer 1

The answer is G because 10x20=200 and 8x25=200

Answer 2

G

Explanation:

A 10 x 20 inch rectangle has an area of 200 square inches. Therefore, we must find the rectangle that is also 200 square inches.

The formula of finding the area of a rectangle is multiplying width times length.

F) 5 * 25 = 125

G) 8 * 25 = 200

H) 15 * 15 = 225

J) 15 * 25 = 375

Therefore, rectangle G has the same area, since it is also 200 square inches.
