Answer:

In the equation 9 X 3 = 27, each factor stands for:

  • 9 = length
  • 3 = width
  • 27 = area

Explanation:

When you must know the area of a terrain or figure, you must know what is the form of that (circle, triangle, rectangle, square, or another figure), because, with this, you can use different formulas of the area, in the case given in the exercise, the formula used is to a rectangle (is the same that a square, but how the length and the width aren't equal, is a rectangle), knowing this the formula is:

  • Area of a rectangle = length * width

In a rectangle, the length is bigger than the width, by this reason 9 is the length, 3 the width and the result is the area, how you can see below:

  • Area of a rectangle = 9 * 3
  • Area of a rectangle = 27
