Math Problem Statement

What is the area of the rectangle? The area is found by multiplying the height and width of the rectangle.

Solution

To solve the problem, let's analyze the image and the question it presents.

Problem Description:

The image shows a rectangle, and the problem asks for the value of the area of this rectangle. The dimensions provided are:

  • Height (hh) is h=32x+1h = \frac{3}{2}x + 1
  • Width (ww) is x=4x = 4

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the height of the rectangle: The height is given as a function of xx: h=32x+1h = \frac{3}{2}x + 1 Substituting x=4x = 4 into this equation: h=32(4)+1=6+1=7h = \frac{3}{2}(4) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7

  2. Identify the width of the rectangle: The width is simply x=4x = 4.

  3. Calculate the area of the rectangle: The area AA of a rectangle is given by: A=height×widthA = \text{height} \times \text{width} Substituting the values: A=7×4=28A = 7 \times 4 = 28

So, the correct answer is 28\boxed{28}.

Multiple Choice Options:

Based on the provided multiple-choice answers, the correct answer is A.28A. 28.
