Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The statement, “An m by n rectangular array of numbers is called $\text{a}\left(\text{an}\right)$ ________”.

Consider the provided statement, “An m by n rectangular array of numbers is called $\text{a}\left(\text{an}\right)$ ________” .

Recall that in a rectangular array entries arranged into a fixed number of rows and columns.

If that rectangular array has m rows and n columns then the order is said to be m by n, and named as matrix.
