You need the length AND the height in order to find the area

A certain rectangle has a length of 250 cm and width of 2 meters what is the area?

5 meters square. I think it's only half a square meter, or .5 sq. meters.


The area of a rectangle is 72 square meters and its length is twice its width. What is the length and width of the rectangle?

The length of the rectangle in question is 12 meters, and the width of the rectangle is 6 meters.We solve this by knowing that the area of a rectangle is equal to the length (l) times the width (w). That formula looks like this:Arectangle = l x wWe are told that the length is twice the width. Here's that idea in the form of an equation:l = 2wSince the length is twice the width, we can substitute the 2w for the l in the first equation. It looks like this:Arectangle = 2w x wNow we add the fact that the area was given as 72 meters2. and put it all together. It looks like this:72 meters2 = 2w x w72 meters2 = 2w236 meters2 = w2sqrt 36 meters2 = w6 meters = wWe have our width as 6 meters. The length is twice that, or 6 meters x 2 = 12 meters. There are our length and width. Let's check our work.Area = length (12 meters) times width (6 meters) = 12m x 6m = 72 m2Our work checks.


The length of a rectangle is 1 inch more than 2 times its width the area of the rectangle is 36 square inches what is the length of the rectangle?

9 inches


What is the area of the rectangle in square centimeters if the rectangle has a perimeter of 2 meters and 70 centimeters.?

If a rectangle was 5 cm in length and 2cm in width what would be the area?

area of rectangle = l* b = 5 * 2=10 cm^ 2
