Question

find the area of the rectangle.
a = ? cm²
2 cm
5 cm
a = l × w

Explanation:

Step1: Identify length and width

Length \( l = 5 \, \text{cm} \), Width \( w = 2 \, \text{cm} \)

Step2: Apply area formula

Use \( A = l \times w \), substitute values: \( A = 5 \times 2 \)

Step3: Calculate the product

\( 5 \times 2 = 10 \)

Answer:

\( 10 \)
