Math Problem Statement

what is the area of a rectangle with a length of 10 feet and a width of 6 feet?

Solution

The area AA of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

A=length×widthA = \text{length} \times \text{width}

Given that the length is 10 feet and the width is 6 feet, we can calculate:

A=10ft×6ft=60square feetA = 10 \, \text{ft} \times 6 \, \text{ft} = 60 \, \text{square feet}

So, the area of the rectangle is 60 square feet.

Here are five related questions:

  1. How do you calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?
  2. What happens to the area if the length or width of the rectangle changes?
  3. How would the area formula change for a triangle?
  4. What is the formula for the area of a circle, and how is it different from a rectangle?
  5. If you increase both the length and width of the rectangle by 2 feet, what would the new area be?

Tip: Always double-check your units when calculating area. If the length is in feet and width in meters, you need to convert them to the same unit.
