A rectangle is 15 cm long and 4 cm wide. What is its area?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 60 square cm
- Step 1: Area = length x width = 15 x 4 = 60.
Answer
60 square cm.
Why not the others: 38 square cm: this is the perimeter, not the area. 19 square cm: the sides were added. 120 square cm: the area was doubled.
