What is the formula for the area of a rectangle with a length of 10 mi and a width of 5 mi?

Back

Area = Length × Width = 10 mi × 5 mi = 50 mi².

Front

If a rectangle has an area of 30 mi² and a width of 5 mi, what is its length?

Back

Length = Area ÷ Width = 30 mi² ÷ 5 mi = 6 mi.

How do you calculate the area of a compound figure with two rectangles?

Back

Calculate the area of each rectangle separately and then add the two areas together.

Front

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 8 mi and a width of 3 mi?

Back

Area = Length × Width = 8 mi × 3 mi = 24 mi².

Front

If a compound figure consists of a rectangle of area 20 mi² and another rectangle of area 15 mi², what is the total area?

Back

Total Area = 20 mi² + 15 mi² = 35 mi².
