Question

1. select another possible formulas for the area of a rectangle. do not use length or width. a = w x b a = bh a = lh a = w a = hx w

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rectangle area concept

The area of a rectangle is the product of two - perpendicular side - lengths. We can use different letters to represent these side - lengths other than length and width.

Step2: Analyze options

In the formula \(A = bh\), \(b\) can represent one side and \(h\) can represent the other perpendicular side. It does not use the words length or width. The other options either use letters that are commonly associated with length or width (\(w\), \(l\)) or are incorrect (\(A = w\) is wrong as area is a product of two dimensions).

Answer:

A = bh
