Question

There are two rectangles. Both the rectangles have breadth 35 units. The length of one rectangle is 50 units and the length of the other rectangle is 25 units. Then the sum areas of the two rectangles is

• A. 2245 sq units
• B. 2625 sq units
• C. 2355 sq units
• D. 2265 sq units

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2625 sq units

Area of the first rectangle = $50\times 35$

Area of the second rectangle = $25\times 35$

Then the sum areas of the two rectangles is $(50\times 35)+(25\times 35)$

We know that multiplying two numbers by a number separately and adding give the same result as multiplying their sum by the number.

So, $(50\times 35)+(25\times 35)$ = $(50+25)\times 35$ = $75\times 35$ = $2625\text{sq~ units}$
