a rectangle is 5 units long. how many square units does the rectangle cover if it is 10,11,12,or 13 units long? Please help
Multiply the length times the width to find how many square units is covered.
5 * 10 = 50 square units
5 * 11 = 55 square units
50
50,55,60,and 65
To find the number of square units a rectangle covers, you need to calculate its area. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = Length x Width
In this case, the length is always 5 units. So, to find the area, you just need to multiply the length (5 units) by the width (which could be 10, 11, 12, or 13 units).
Let's calculate the area for each width:
1. Width = 10 units
Area = Length x Width = 5 units x 10 units = 50 square units
2. Width = 11 units
Area = Length x Width = 5 units x 11 units = 55 square units
3. Width = 12 units
Area = Length x Width = 5 units x 12 units = 60 square units
4. Width = 13 units
Area = Length x Width = 5 units x 13 units = 65 square units
Therefore, if the rectangle is 10 units wide, it covers 50 square units; if it is 11 units wide, it covers 55 square units; if it is 12 units wide, it covers 60 square units, and if it is 13 units wide, it covers 65 square units.
