Question

A rectangle is 1/3 yards long and 2/3 yards wide.

what is the area of the rectangle?

enter your answer in the box as a fraction in simplest form


`(?)/(?) \: {yd}^(2)`

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. So,

Area = Length x Width

Length of rectangle = 1/3 yards
Width of rectangle = 2/3 yards

So, the area A of the rectangle will be:


`A = (1)/(3)* (2)/(3) = (2)/(9)`

So, the Area of rectangle will be
`(2)/(9)` square yards.
