The Area of Rectangles Worksheets
How to Find the Area of a Rectangle - When you look at the things around you, you will see that all the things around us occupy space. It means that every single thing in this world has an area, right? So, if you ever get to find out the area of a rectangle, how do you find it? If that's what you are also thinking, then it’s time to figure it out. First, we need to recall the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is; A = L x W Here L stands for length, and W stands for the width of the rectangle. Length is the longest side of the rectangle, whereas width is its shortest side. You are given a rectangle with two measures of their sides of 4 inches and 7 inches.In this given rectangle, the longest side, which is the length, is 7 inches and the shortest side, which is the width. It is 4 inches. Now that you have the measurements of both sides, all you have to do is plug in the values in the formula. A = 7 x 4 A = 21 inches You have the answer! Students learn how to find the area ofrectangles with these helpful worksheets.
