Question

The length of a rectangle is 21 yards. The width of the rectangle is 5 yards. What isthe area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, we can use the following formula

`Aread\text{ of a reactangle = \lparen length\rparen}*\text{ }(width)`

Therefore, to find the total area we have to multiply his length by his width.

Using the data given in the question, we know that the length is 21 yards and the width is 5 yards. Therefore we find that:

`Area\text{ of the rectangle =}(21\text{ yards\rparen}*\text{ \lparen5 yards\rparen}=105\text{ yards}^2`

we conclude that the area of the rectangle is 105 yards^2.

Note that the units of the area are square units
