Question

a rectangle is drawn on a grid. below it, there is a multiplication expression: x = , and below that, \area = \.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for area of a rectangle

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula \( \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \). From the grid, we can see the length is 7 units (number of columns) and the width is 4 units (number of rows).

Step2: Calculate the area

Using the formula, we substitute the length and width values. So, \( 4 \times 7 = 28 \).

Answer:

\( 4 \times 7 = 28 \)
\( \text{Area} = 28 \)
