Question

Find the area of the rectangle.

$\begin{array}{l}A) 14squaremeters\\ B) 16squaremeters\\ C) 50squaremeters\\ D) 60squaremeters\end{array}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The area of the rectangle is $B) 16squaremeters$.

Step 1. Area of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is $L\times W$, where $L$ is the length of the rectangle and $W$ is the width.

Step 2. Put the value of length and width into the formula.

From the given figure the length and width of the rectangle is $8mand2m$ respectively.

Put $L=8andW=2$ into the area of rectangle formula.

$Area=8\times 2$

Step 3. Multiply the numbers.

$Area=16squaremeters$

Hence, the correct option is $B) 16squaremeters$.
