Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 11.5 and breadth is 12.5 m
Area of a rectangle
= Length * width (or breadth)
= L*W
Take out your calculator to calculate the product.
For someone who has done factoring,
11.5*12.5
=(12-.5)(12+.5)
=12²-0.5²
=144-0.25
=143.75
without using a calculator.
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its breadth (or width). In this case, the length is given as 11.5 meters and the breadth is given as 12.5 meters.
So, to find the area, you can use the formula:
Area = Length x Breadth
Substituting the given values:
Area = 11.5 m x 12.5 m
To solve the multiplication, you multiply the numbers together:
Area = 143.75 square meters
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 143.75 square meters.
