Example Question #55 : Quadrilaterals
A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangle that is 20 feet wide and 30 feet long. Find the area of the swimming pool.
To find the area of a rectangle, we use the following formula:
where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.
In this case, we know the length of the swimming pool is 30 feet. We also know the width of the pool is 20 feet. So, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #55 : Quadrilaterals
Use the following to answer the question.
You go to the community center to go swimming. You see that the pool is a rectangular shape. If the pool has a length of 45 feet and a width of 20 feet, what is the area of the pool?
To find the area of a rectangle, we use the following formula:
where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.
So, given the rectangle
we can see the length is 45 feet and the width is 20 feet. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #56 : Quadrilaterals
Find the area of a rectangle with a length of 10cm and a width that is half the length.
To find the area of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:
where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.
Now, we know the length of the rectangle is 10cm. We also know the width is half of the length. Therefore, the width is 5cm. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #76 : Geometry
Find the area of a rectangle with a width of 6 feet and a length that is two times the width.
To find the area of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:
where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.
Now, we know the width is 6 feet. We know the length is two times the width. Therefore, the length is 12 feet. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
