A rectangle is a good, simple shape to begin with. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its base and the length of its height. The height is a segment that is perpendicular to the base. For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude."

How do you find a area of something?
It depends on what type of shape you are trying to find the area. If it is a rectangle, you do base times height. For triangles, you do base times height divided by two. For a circle, it is Pi*R^2.
What is the area of a rectangle with a base of 10 and a height of 7?
The area of a rectangle is length x width. The area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. If you mean a rectangle, the area is 70 square units. If you mean a triangle, the area is 35 square units.
What is the area of the rectangle if the base is 2x and the height is 3x?
6X squared
What is the height of a rectangle if the area is 60 inches and the base is 20?
40 inches no. that is not right your area is 60 square inches; watch your units area = base x height height = area / base height = 60/20 = 3 inch
What isThe area of a triangle 4 by 7?

What is Area of the base times the height?
rectangle
A triangle is within a rectangle. how to find the ratio of the area of triangle to the rectangle?
Sounds like the triangle is spread out so that (the point is at the top of the rectangle) and (the base of the triangle is the same as the base of the rectangle).Base of rectangle = base of triangleHeight of rectangle = height of triangleWrite the formulas:Area of the rectangle = (base) times (height)Area of triangle = (one half of) (base) times (height)Can you see the ratio now ?
What is the formula of finding the area of a rectangle?
base times height = area
What is the relationship between the area of a triangle and a rectangle?

How is finding the area of a triangle different from finding the area of a rectangle?
the area of a triangle is base times height times one half and rectangle is length times width
How is the area triangle related to the area of a rectangle?
two right triangles = full rectangle That is - if you multiply height times base of a triangle, the area will be 1/2 of a rectangle having the same height, and a width the same as the triangle base.
Why is the area of the triangle half the base times the height?
Because a triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width, the area of a triangle is half that.
What shape do you take base times height to get the area?
