Question

Find the area of each figure.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The area of the rectangle is $6 {\mathrm{cm}}^2$.

Step 1. Given information.

The figure is a rectangle as its opposite sides are equal and each angle is right angle. So, length is 3 cm and breadth is 2 cm.

Step 2. Concept used.

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length l and breadth b. It is mathematically denoted by $A=l\times b$.

Step 3. Calculations.

$$\begin{gathered} A=l\times b \\ =3\mathrm{cm}\times 2\mathrm{cm} \\ =6{\mathrm{cm}}^2 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the area of the figure is $6 {\mathrm{cm}}^2$.
