Question

Rectangle A .-

Length of Base (b): 5 cm Height (h): 12 cm
Area (A) : 60 cm2
Rectangle B .-
Length of Base (b): 4cm
Height (h): 8 cm
Area (A): 32 cm2
Rectangle C.-
Length of Base (b) : 6cm
Height (h): 9 cm
Area (A): 54 cm2
**Look at the data in the table above. Explain the relationship between the linear dimensions of a rectangle and the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

An area of a rectangle can be solve by multiplying its base by its height.

Area = Base x Height

Rectangle
A : A = 5 cm * 12cm = 60 cm²
B : A = 4 cm * 8 cm = 32 cm²
C : A = 6 cm * 9 cm = 54 cm²
