Complete each statement.
a) Given that the length and the width of a rectangle are measured in inches, its area is measured in _____________.
b) If two closed plane figures are congruent, then their areas are ___________.

a.
To complete:
The given sentence with the unit of the area of a rectangle.
Answer to Problem 1CT
Solution:
Given that the length and the width of a rectangle are measured in inches, its area is measured in in2.
Explanation of Solution
Note:
When a region such as R in a plane M is measured, we say this measure as ‘the area of the plane region’. The unit used to measure the area is known as a square unit.
Given:
Given that the length and the width of a rectangle are measured in inches.
As per the Note, the unit of the area of the rectangle is measured in square inches or in2.
Conclusion:
Given that the length and the width of a rectangle are measured in inches, its area is measured in in2.

b.
To complete:
The given sentence.
Answer to Problem 1CT
Solution:
If two closed plane figures are congruent, then their areas are equal.
Explanation of Solution
Postulate:
If two closed plane figures are congruent, then their areas are equal.
Given:
Two closed plane figures are congruent.
As per the postulate, if two closed plane figures are congruent then their areas are equal.
Conclusion:
If two closed plane figures are congruent, then their areas are equal.

- Find the area of a square whose diagonal is 10arrow_forwardDecomposition geometry: Mary is making a decorative yard space with dimensions as shaded in green (ΔOAB).Mary would like to cover the yard space with artificial turf (plastic grass-like rug). Mary reasoned that she could draw a rectangle around the figure so that the point O was at a vertex of the rectangle and that points A and B were on sides of the rectangle. Then she reasoned that the three smaller triangles resulting could be subtracted from the area of the rectangle. Mary determined that she would need 28 square meters of artificial turf to cover the green shaded yard space pictured exactly.arrow_forward7. 11 m 12.7 m 14 m S V=B₁+ B2(h) 9.5 m 16 m h+s 2 na 62-19 = 37 +, M h² = Bu-29arrow_forward
