use the area of a rectangle to calculate for the total area of the rectangular grass plot
area = length × width
Step-by-step explanation:
The grass plot in Nathan's backyard has a rectangular shape. The dimensions of the sides are in meters . The width and the length are in metres . Since the grass plot is rectangular , the area of the plot can be computed using the formula for area of a rectangle.
Area of a rectangle = L × W
where
L = length
W = width
The area of a rectangle is the width multiplied by the length. For example if the width of the grass plot is 100 meters and the length is 200 meters .The area of the grass rectangular plot will be
area = L × W
area = 200 × 100
area = 20000 m²
The unit of the area will be in square meters (m²)
