Math Problem Statement

What is the area of a rectangle that is 3.1 cm wide and 4.4 cm long?

Solution

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

Area=Width×Length\text{Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length}

Given:

  • Width = 3.1 cm
  • Length = 4.4 cm

Calculating the area:

Area=3.1cm×4.4cm=13.64cm2\text{Area} = 3.1 \, \text{cm} \times 4.4 \, \text{cm} = 13.64 \, \text{cm}^2

Thus, the area of the rectangle is 13.64 cm².

  2. How would the area change if the width were doubled?
  3. What is the area of a rectangle with a width of 5 cm and a length of 7 cm?
  4. How do you calculate the area of a square, and how is it different from a rectangle?
  5. If a rectangle has an area of 20 cm² and a width of 5 cm, what is its length?

Tip: When calculating the area of any shape, always ensure that all dimensions are in the same units.
