A rectangle is 5 feet long and 11 feet wide. What is its area?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 55 square feet
- Step 1: Area = length x width. Step 2. 5 x 11 = 55 square feet. Answer: 55 square feet. Why not the others: 32 square feet: this is the perimeter, not the area. 16 square feet: this adds the sides instead of multiplying them. 110 square feet: this doubles the area.
