Math Problem Statement

Find the area of this rectangle. The dimensions provided are 13 yards for the length and 5 yards for the width.

Solution

To find the area of a rectangle, we use the formula:

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

In the given image, the length is 13 yards, and the width is 5 yards. Plugging these values into the formula:

Area=13×5=65square yards\text{Area} = 13 \times 5 = 65 \, \text{square yards}

So, the area of the rectangle is 65 square yards.

Tip: Always check that both the length and width are in the same units before calculating area.
