unit 3 - geometry question 24, 6.4.1 hw score: 56.9%, 33 of 58 poin points: 0 of 1 find the area of the given geometric figure. 2 m rectangle 2.5 m the area of the rectangle is (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle

The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by the formula \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).

Step2: Identify the length and width

From the figure, the length is \( 2.5 \, \text{m} \) and the width is \( 2 \, \text{m} \).

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \( A = 2.5 \times 2 \).
\( 2.5 \times 2 = 5 \)

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is \( 5 \) square meters (or \( 5 \, \text{m}^2 \)).
