Question

Skip-count to find the unknown area. Write a multiplication sentence for each tiled rectangle. You can use any color below to complete each tile.

Answer 1

`(a)`
`Length= 3cm`
`Width = 6cm`
`Area = 24cm^2`

`(b)`
`Length= 3cm`
`Width = 8cm`
`Area= 24cm^2`

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for rectangle

Solving (a):

From the first rectangle, there are 6 columns and 3 rows.

This implies that:

`Length= 3cm`

`Width = 6cm`

So, the area is:

`Area = Length * Width`

`Area = 3cm * 6cm`

`Area = 18cm^2`

Solving (a):

From the first rectangle, there are 3 rows and the total area is 24.

This implies that:

`Length= 3cm`

`Area= 24cm^2`

Area is:

`Area = Length * Width`

`24cm^2= 3cm * Width`

Make Width the subject

`Width = (24cm^2)/(3cm)`

`Width = 8cm`
