Question

What is the area of this rectangle? A rectangle that is partitioned into two rectangles. The first rectangle has a measurement of five meters along the top, and a measurement of eight meters along the side. The second rectangle has a measurement of five meters along the top, and a measurment of eight meters along the side. 50 square meters 60 square meters 70 square meters 80 square meters

Answer 1

80 square meters

Explanation:

A rectangle that is partitioned into two rectangles; rectangle A and rectangle B

Rectangle A:

Top = 5 meters

Side = 8 meters

Area of rectangle A = length × width

= 5 meters × 8 meters

= 40 meters ²

Rectangle B:

Top = 5 meters

Side = 8 meters

Area of rectangle B = length × width

= 5 meters × 8 meters

= 40 meters ²

Total area of the partitioned rectangle = area of rectangle A + area of rectangle B

= 40 meters ² + 40 meters ²

= 80 meters ²
