Question

question 2 of 10
what is the area of the rectangle below?
8
17
a. 136 sq. units
b. 68 sq. units
c. 50 sq. units
d. 25 sq. units

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 diagram, the length of the rectangle is \( 17 \) units and the width is \( 8 \) units.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of length and width into the formula: \( A = 17 \times 8 \).
Calculating \( 17 \times 8 \), we get \( 136 \).

Answer:

A. 136 sq. units
