Areas of Rectangles: Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a rectangle using both whole numbers and fractions. It introduces the concept of parallel sides in rectangles and demonstrates the formula for area calculation by multiplying length and width. The tutorial also covers the use of tiling as a visual method to find the area and explains how to simplify fractional results. The video concludes with a review of the methods discussed.

What is the relationship between the opposite sides of a rectangle?

• They are parallel.

• They are curved.

• They are perpendicular.

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

• Add the length and width.

• Divide the length by the width.

• Subtract the width from the length.

• Multiply the length by the width.
