Question

Mandy was painting a mural in the shape of a rectangle. the length of a mural was 12 ft in the width was 5 ft. what was the area of the mural?A.60 sq ftB.17 ft C.34 ftD.50

Answer 1

We have the following formula for the area of a rectangle:

$A=l\cdot w$

where 'l' is the length and 'w' is the width.

In this case,we have the following:

$\begin{gathered} l=12ft \\ w=5ft \\ \Rightarrow A=(12ft)(5ft)=60ft^2 \\ A=60ft^2 \end{gathered}$

therefore, the area of the mural is 60 square feet
