How do you draw a rectangle with an area of 16 square cm?

Answer 1

Well, first think of all of the possible numbers that multiply to make 16.

There are:

• 4 x 4
• 8 x 2
• 2 x 8
• 16 x 1
• 1 x 16

Since you are talking about rectangles, you can automatically eliminate 4 x 4, since that would make a square (which have all equal lengths).

You are left with both 8 x 2 and 2 x 8, and 16 x 1 and 1 x 16.

So 8cm length by 2cm width (or vice versa) or 16cm length by 1cm width (or vice versa)

=)

Answer 2

To draw a rectangle with an area of 16 square cm, you need to determine the dimensions that would result in an area of 16 square cm. Since the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width, you can choose any two numbers that multiply to 16. For example, you could draw a rectangle that is 4 cm long and 4 cm wide, or 2 cm long and 8 cm wide, both resulting in an area of 16 square cm.
