Question

The length of a rectangle is a centimeters, the width of this rectangle is b centimeters. Write an expression for the area of this rectangle.

Answer 1

ab cm^2

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by A = Length times Width.

Here the area is A = (a cm)*(b cm) = ab cm^2

Answer 2

A = ab

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is denoted by A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.

Here, our length is a centimetres and our width is b centimetres. This means that l = a and w = b. Plug these into the formula:

A = lw

A = ab

The answer is thus A = ab.
