A rectangle has an area of 36 cm^2 . What are the possible dimensions of the rectangle? Use the formula sheet provided. (1 point)
• 3 in × 10 in
• 4 in × 5 in
O 4 in × 9 in
O 7 in × 8 in
The possible dimensions of the rectangle are:
- 4 in x 9 in
To calculate the area of a rectangle, we use the formula A = l x w, where A is the area, l is the length, and w is the width. Given that the area is 36 cm^2, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 36. The pair that fits this criteria is 4 and 9, so the dimensions can be 4 cm x 9 cm.
