Question

find the area of the given geometric figure. 4 m rectangle 6.5 m the area of the rectangle is (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 \( 6.5 \, \text{m} \) and the width is \( 4 \, \text{m} \).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of length and width into the formula: \( A = 6.5 \times 4 \).
Calculating the product: \( 6.5 \times 4 = 26 \).

Answer:

\( 26 \) square meters (or \( 26 \, \text{m}^2 \))
