Chapter 11.1, Problem 2PSA

To determine

To find : The area of a rectangle with a given width and length

Answer to Problem 2PSA

The area is $A=75{\text{ cm}}^2$

Explanation of Solution

Given information : The following information has been given

  $length=12.5\text{ cm}$

  $width=6\text{ cm}$

Formula used : The area of any rectangle will be

  $A=(lengt{h}_1)(widt{h}_1)$

Calculation : We know that the area of any rectangle will be

  $A=(length)(width)$

Hence, substituting the values from the given information, we get

  $A=(12.5)(6)=75{\text{ cm}}^2$

Thus, we get

  $A=75{\text{ cm}}^2$
