What is the area of rectangle ABCDABCDA, B, C, D?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

15 squre units

Explanation:

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width. The length is AB = 5 units; the width is BC = 3 units. Then the area is ...

A = LW

A = (5 units)(3 units) = 15 units²

The area of rectangle ABCD is 15 square units.
