Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 times its width. The rectangle’s width is 8 m. What is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Width = 8m
Length = 4 x 8 = 32m
Area = width x length
= 8 x 32

= 256m²

Answer 2

The area of the rectangle is 256 m².

Explanation:

It is given that,

Width of a rectangle, b = 8 m

The length of a rectangle is 4 times its width, l = 4 b

Length,
`l=8* 4=32\ m`

The area of the rectangle is given by :

`A=l* b`

`A=32\ m* 8\ m`

`A=256\ m^2`

So, the area of the rectangle is
`256\ m^2`. Hence, this is the required solution.
