What is the area of the rectangle with side of length of 12 meters?

Answer 1

You've clearly called the figure a 'rectangle' and not a 'square'. Therefore, we expect its

length and width to be different numbers. But you've only given us one of its dimensions,

so we're quite sure that we can't answer the question.

If your figure turned out to be a square after all, then a single dimension is all that we would

need, since the length and width of a square are the same number. In that case, its area

would be 144 square meters.

But if your rectangle is not square, then we need its width before we can hope to aspire

to an answer.
