Question

a model representing 4 wholes is tiled and shaded as shown. what is the area of the shaded rectangle? a. $\frac{12}{16}$ square yard b. $1\frac{3}{4}$ square yards c. 3 square yards d. $\frac{16}{64}$ square yard

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for rectangle

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.

Step2: Identify length and width

The length of the rectangle is 4 yards and the width is $\frac{3}{4}$ yard.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A=4\times\frac{3}{4}$
$A = 3$ square - yards

Answer:

C. 3 square yards
