The area of a rectangle may be determined by using the formula A = lw, where "A" stands for area, "l" stands for the length of the rectangle, and "w" stands for the width of the rectangle. If the length of the rectangle is 3 cm and the width of the rectangle is 5 cm, what is the area?
Yes. 15 square centimeters is correct. Always multiply the length times the width to get the area.
A = lw
You have two numbers. Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
divide?
multiply?
What answer do you get?
multiply?? and I got 15 but I'm not sure if its right
To find the area of a rectangle using the formula A = lw, you need to know the values of length (l) and width (w).
In this case, the length of the rectangle is given as 3 cm and the width is given as 5 cm.
Now, you can substitute these values into the formula and calculate the area:
A = lw
A = 3 cm * 5 cm
A = 15 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 15 square centimeters.
