Question

A rectangle is $25\mathrm{in}.$ long and $13\mathrm{in}.$ wide. What is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Finding the area of the rectangle:

• The length of the rectangle is $25\mathrm{in}.$.
• The width of the rectangle is $13\mathrm{in}.$.
• The area of the rectangle is $A=l\times b$ where $l$ is the length of the rectangle and $b$is the width of the rectangle.

Substitute the values in the above formula to find the area:

$\begin{array}{rcl}A& =& 25\times 13\\ & \Rightarrow & A=325\end{array}$

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is $325{\mathrm{in}}^2$.
