Find the areas of the rectangles whose sides are:
(a) 3 cm and 4 cm (b) 12 m and 21 m
(c) 2 km and 3 km (d) 2 m and 70 cm
It is known that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
(a) l = 3 cm
b = 4 cm
Area = l × b = 3 × 4 = 12 cm2
(b) l = 12 m
b = 21 m
Area = l × b = 12 × 21 = 252 m2
(c) l = 2 km
b = 3 km
Area = l × b = 2 × 3 = 6 km2
(d) l = 2 m
b = 70 cm = 0.70 m
Area = l × b = 2 × 0.70 = 1.40 m2
