Question

To win a prize at a fair you must throw a coin into a space that is 7 cm long and 4 cm wide. what is the area of the space you are aiming for

Answer 1

Area of a figure is the total number of square units in the figure. For a rectangle, it is equal to the product of the length and the width. Assuming that the space given is a rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle. We calculate the area of the space as follows:

Area = length x width
Area = 7 cm x 4 cm
Area = 28 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the space you are aiming for would be 28 square centimeters.
