Exploring Area Calculation of Combined Rectangles

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of combined rectangles by breaking them into smaller rectangles using the distributive property. It demonstrates both vertical and horizontal line methods to divide rectangles and calculate their areas. Several examples are provided to illustrate these methods, showing how to sum the areas of smaller rectangles to find the total area. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to like and subscribe.

What property is used to break apart an array into smaller arrays to find the area?

• Distributive property

• Associative property

• Additive property

• Commutative property

What method involves drawing a line to separate a rectangle into smaller sections?

• Multiplicative division
