Question

find the area of the rectangle.
18 in.
10 in.
the area is:
○ a 56 in²
○ b 28 in²
○ c 180 in²

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 diagram

From the diagram, the length of the rectangle is \( 18 \) inches and the width is \( 10 \) inches.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values of length and width into the formula: \( A = 18 \times 10 \).
\( 18 \times 10 = 180 \) square inches.

Answer:

c. \( 180 \text{ in}^2 \)
