Area of a Rectangle Formula

Area of a rectangle formula

Rectangle is a quadrilateral (figure bounded by four sides) where the two opposite sides are equal and parallel and the measure of each angle is 90 degree. It is also an example of a parallelogram.

Formula for area of rectangle formula:

Area of rectangle = length x breadth

To find the area of a region for enclosed plane figure, we have to draw a figure and write an appropriate formula. Then substitute the given values, and calculate the required area.

Steps for finding the dimension of the rectangle by using the Area of an rectangle formula:

Step 1: First we have to assign variables:

Step 2: Write area of rectangle formula A = lw

Step 3: Plug given the values from the question

Use distributive to remove brackets

Put in Quadratic form

It can be rewritten as two different squares.

Factorize the two squares.

Now, we get two x values

Using this formula and steps we can calculate valume of a rectangle.Next time we will learn more about rectangle solve problems and examples.
