10 cm
4 cm
2 cm
8 cm
4 cm
4 cm
what is the area of rectangle 3?
area = length x width
rectangle 1 40 cm2
rectangle 2 16 cm2
rectangle 3 ? cm2
total area cm2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle

The formula for the area of a rectangle is \( \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).

Step2: Identify the length and width of Rectangle 3

From the diagram, Rectangle 3 has a length of 4 cm and a width of 4 cm.

Step3: Calculate the area of Rectangle 3

Substitute the length and width into the formula: \( \text{Area} = 4 \, \text{cm} \times 4 \, \text{cm} \).
\[
4 \times 4 = 16
\]

Answer:

16
