Question

find the area of each of the following quadrilaterals. complete parts (a) through (d) below.
a. square
the area of the square to the right is 9 ( cm^{2} ).
(type an integer or a decimal.)
b. rectangle
the area of the rectangle to the right is
(type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle

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

Step2: Identify the length and width

From the figure, the length \(l = 13\space cm\) and the width \(w=5\space cm\).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \(A = 13\times5\).

$$A=65$$

Answer:

\(65\space cm^{2}\)
