Question

review homework: unit 3 - geometry question 24, 6.4.1 hw score: 56.9%, 33 of 58 points points: 0 of 1 find the area of the given geometric figure. image of a rectangle with height 4 m and length 8.5 m, labeled rectangle the area of the rectangle is \\(\square\\) (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle

The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).

Step2: Identify the length and width

From the figure, the length of the rectangle is \( 8.5 \, \text{m} \) and the width is \( 4 \, \text{m} \).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of length and width into the formula: \( A = 8.5 \times 4 \).
Calculating this, we get \( 8.5 \times 4 = 34 \).

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is \( 34 \) square meters (or \( 34 \, \text{m}^2 \)).
