Math Problem Statement

What is the area of the shape?

Solution

To find the area of this shape, which appears to be a rectangle, you can use the formula:

Area=length×width\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}

From the image, we can see the following dimensions:

  • Length = 7 units (bottom side)
  • Width = 5 units (left side)

Thus, the area is:

Area=7×5=35 square units\text{Area} = 7 \times 5 = 35 \text{ square units}

Would you like further explanation on this? Here are some related questions to practice:

  1. What is the perimeter of this rectangle?
  2. If each unit length is in centimeters, what is the area in square centimeters?
  3. How would the area change if the length were doubled?
  4. What formula would you use for the area of a triangle?
  5. If the width increased by 2 units, what would be the new area?

Tip: Always make sure that each side length is labeled accurately to avoid mistakes when calculating area or perimeter.
