Math Problem Statement

if a rectangle has a length of 4 and a width of 6, what is the area?

Solution

The area AA of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

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

Given:

  • Length = 4
  • Width = 6

Substitute the values into the formula:

A=4×6=24A = 4 \times 6 = 24

So, the area of the rectangle is 24 square units.
