How does finding the area relate to multiplication?
Finding area involves finding how many square units will fit in the shape. If it is a rectangle, then the length times the width will give you the number of square units that will fit in the shape, (e.g., a 4 foot wide by 8 foot long rectangle would fit 32 square feet in the shape).
How many 2 inch circles will fit into a 12 inch by 16 inch rectangle?
48- 2 inch circles with fit in a 12x16 rectangle.
Can you fit a rectangle 21.5x 24 in a 27 diameter circle?
No. The diagonal of the rectangle is a little over 32.2, and nothing that long can fit into a circle with a diameter of 27.
Why is the area of a rectangle l into w?
It isn't. The area of a rectangle is length x width. What you are doing is counting how many square units will fit in the shape.
Are all rectangles squares if not explain why?
No. All rectangles are not squares. Think of rectangles and squares as boxes. Would you be able to fit a rectangle into the square box? Nope. But you would be able to fit the square into the rectangle box. <---- Hope that helped. :)
