Chapter 0.8, Problem 1E

To determine

To calculate: The area of the figure.

Answer to Problem 1E

The area of the rectangle is $6{\text{cm}}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

Area $\left(A\right)$ of rectangle is product of its length $\left(l\right)$ and breadth $\left(b\right)$ . It is mathematically denoted by $A=l\times b$ .

Calculation:

The figure is a rectangle as its opposite sides are equal and each angle is right angle. So, length is $3\text{cm}$ and breadth is $2\text{cm}$ .

Recall that area $\left(A\right)$ of rectangle is product of its length $\left(l\right)$ and breadth $\left(b\right)$ . It is mathematically denoted by $A=l\times b$ .

Apply it,

  $\begin{array}{c}A=l\times b\\ =3\text{cm}\times 2\text{cm}\\ =6{\text{cm}}^2\end{array}$

Thus, the area of the figure is $6{\text{cm}}^2$ .
