How can I find the area of a rectangle with a rectangle the size of w- 2in and l- 5 in. I need two ways and i need a lot of easy explaining because I need to draw how I did it.
Here's one way:
A=WxL
So in this case, it's 2x5
You would draw the rectangle, label one side 2 in. and the other 5 in. Draw an arrow from each no./side and put x underneath the line so that its 2 —x— 5 (2, line, x, line, 5. With x under line)
