Marcus divided his rectangle into five equal parts. He plans to color the rectangle red,white,blue,green and orange what is the area of the part of the rectangle he will color red?
1/5 of the rectangle area which is length times width, L*w/5
To find the area of the part of the rectangle that Marcus will color red, we first need to determine the total area of the rectangle and then divide it into five equal parts.
Let's assume the length of the rectangle is L units and the width is W units. Therefore, the total area of the rectangle can be calculated as A = L × W.
Since Marcus wants to divide the rectangle into five equal parts, he will color one of those parts red. Hence, the area of the part he will color red can be calculated as the total area (A) divided by five:
Area of the red part = A / 5 = (L × W) / 5
Therefore, if you know the length and width of the rectangle, you can substitute those values into the formula to calculate the area of the part that Marcus will color red.
