Question

Draw a rectangle that is 8 squares long and 1 2 of a square wide. Then add up the partial squares to find the area. Multiply to check your answer. (i got it wrong, and my teacher told me to redo it so may someone help me?-)

Answer 1

To draw a rectangle that is 8 squares long and 12 squares wide, you can draw a rectangle with 8 squares in one row and 12 squares in each column.

To find the area of the rectangle, you can count the number of squares in the rectangle. In this case, there are 8 rows and 12 columns, so the area of the rectangle is:

8 x 12 = 96

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 96 square units.

To check your answer, you can multiply the length and width of the rectangle. The length is 8 and the width is 12, so:

8 x 12 = 96

As you can see, this is the same answer we got by counting the squares, so our answer is correct.

Answer 2

It should just be 8 times 12 which is 96
