Question

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 4 &#160; centimeters &#160; cm and a width of 2 &#160; cm ?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. The area of a rectangle with length l and width w can be found using the formula A = l w . It&rsquo;s given that the rectangle has a length of 4 &#160; cm and a width of 2 &#160; cm . Therefore, the area of this rectangle is 4 &#160; cm ( 2 &#160; cm ) , or 8 &#160; cm 2 . Choice A is incorrect. This is the sum, in &#160; cm , of the length and width of the rectangle, not the area, in &#160; cm 2 . Choice C is incorrect. This is the perimeter, in &#160; cm , of the rectangle, not the area, in &#160; cm 2 . Choice D is incorrect. This is the sum of the length and width of the rectangle squared, not the area.
