Question

To find the area, Andrea tiled a rectangle and sketched her answer. Sketch Andrea’s rectangle, and find the area. Show your multiplication work.

Rectangle is
2 1/2 unnits x 2 1/2 units
Area = ____

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the rectangle will be $6\frac{1}{4}square units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrea tiled a rectangle with the given dimensions as $2\frac{1}{2}\text{units}\times 2\frac{1}{2}\text{units}$

Since area of a rectangle is represented by (Length × Width)

Area = $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{5}{2}$

        = $\frac{25}{4}$

        = $6\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, area of the rectangle will be $6\frac{1}{4}square units$
