To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length by the width.
In this case, the length of the rectangle is given as 6 cm and the width is given as 3 cm.
Area = length × width
Area = 6 cm × 3 cm
Area = 18 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 18 cm².
To find the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself.
In this case, each side of the square is given as 20 inches.
Area = side length × side length
Area = 20 inches × 20 inches
Area = 400 square inches
Therefore, the area of the traffic sign is 400 square inches.
To find the area of the mural, we need to find the length of the longer side first.
The shorter side of the mural measures 5 yards.
The longer side is 3 yards longer than the shorter side.
Let's call the shorter side x yards.
So, the longer side would be x + 3 yards.
We are given that the shorter side measures 5 yards, so we can set up the following equation:
x = 5
Now, we can substitute this value into the equation for the longer side:
x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
Therefore, the longer side of the mural measures 8 yards.
To find the area of the mural, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = length × width
Area = 5 yards × 8 yards
Area = 40 square yards
Therefore, the area of the mural is 40 square yards.
