Question

what is the area of the rectangle shown?
8 cm
8 cm²
6 cm²
8 m²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$ (length times width). But we are not given both length and width values here, assume some missing - information situation. If we assume one side is 8 cm and the other side is 1 cm (since no other side - length info is given and for a non - zero area rectangle), then $A=8\times1$.

Step2: Calculate area

$A = 8\times1=8$ cm². Area is measured in square units.

Answer:

8 cm²
