Question

the length of a rectangle is 3.7m and its width is 1.4m. true or false: the area of the rectangle is 5.18 m². (area = length x width)
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the rectangle

The formula for the area of a rectangle is \(A = l\times w\), where \(l = 3.7\)m (length) and \(w = 1.4\)m (width).

$$A=3.7\times1.4$$

Step2: Perform the multiplication

$$3.7\times1.4=(3 + 0.7)\times1.4=3\times1.4+0.7\times1.4 = 4.2+0.98=5.18\space m^{2}$$

Answer:

A. True
