what is the area of
rectangle 1? (x2)
rectangle 1 (x2): ? ft2
15 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the dimensions of rectangle 1

Rectangle 1 has dimensions \(3\) ft (width) and \(8\) ft (length).

Step2: Calculate the area of one rectangle 1

The area formula for a rectangle is \(A = length\times width\). So, \(A_1=3\times8 = 24\) \(ft^2\).

Step3: Calculate the area of two rectangle 1s

Since we need to find the area for \(x2\) (two of them), \(A = 2\times A_1\). So, \(A = 2\times24=48\) \(ft^2\).

Answer:

\(48\)
