How to Use Area of a Rectangle Formula to Solve Maths Questions?

A rectangle is a two-dimensional geometric object with equal and parallel opposite sides and right angles at all four angles.

The area of the rectangle is the area occupied by a rectangle within its boundaries.

The number of unit squares that can fit into a rectangle is called its Area.

Inside the rectangle, let us draw unit squares. Each unit square is a one-inch-long square.

Now count how many unit squares there are in the diagram. There are a total of 8 squares. As a result, the above rectangle has an area of 6 square inches.

A rectangle's area is calculated by multiplying its length and breadth. That is, area of a rectangle = Length  Breadth.

To find the area of a rectangle, follow the steps below:

a) Make a note of measures of length and breadth of a given rectangle.

b) Find the product of length and breadth of the given rectangle. c) Write the answer in square units.

Example:

Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 4 cm and breadth is 3 cm.

The diagonal of a rectangle is the straight line that connects the opposite vertices of the rectangle. In the rectangle, there are two diagonals, each of equal length.

The Pythagoras theorem can be used to find the diagonal of a rectangle.

Example:

Find the area of a rectangle, whose diagonal is 5 cm and breadth is 3 cm.
