Question

find the area of each rectangle.
4 cm
10 cm
4 cm
4 cm
2 cm
what is the area of
rectangle 2?
area = length × width
rectangle 1 40 cm²
rectangle 2 ? cm²
rectangle 3 cm²
total area cm²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify length and width of Rectangle 2

From the diagram, Rectangle 2 has length \( 10 \, \text{cm} \) (same as Rectangle 1's length, since they seem aligned vertically) and width \( 2 \, \text{cm} \).

Step2: Apply area formula for rectangle

The formula for the area of a rectangle is \( \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \). Substituting the values, we get \( \text{Area} = 10 \times 2 \).

Step3: Calculate the product

\( 10 \times 2 = 20 \).

Answer:

\( 20 \)
