What is the Area of a Rectangle

What is the Area of a Rectangle The area of a polygon is the number of square units inside the polygon. To understand the difference between perimeter and area, think of perimeter as the length of fence needed to enclose the yard, whereas area is the space inside the yard. Perimeter is 1-dimensional and is measured in linear units such as inches, feet or meters. Area is 2-dimensional: it has a length and a width. Area is measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is any quadrilateral with four right angles. Another name is equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360/4 = 90). It can also be defined as a parallelogram containing a right angle. The term oblong is occasionally used to refer to a non-square rectangle.[1][2] A rectangle with vertices ABCD would be denoted as ABCD. Area of a rectangle specifies an area in the coordinate space that is enclosed by the rectangular object. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length and the width. Area is usually measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. Know More About Tutoring Online Math.Tutorvista.com

Solution : Formula for area of rectangle = l b =47 = 28cm2 Perimeter of the rectangle = 2L +2W = 2(4) + 2(7) = 8 + 14 = 22cm. Example 6: Find the volume of a cuboid whose length l = 4 m and height = 6 m and width = 3m? Solution : volume of rectangle = l h w =463 = 72m2 Example 7: The wooden box has volume 400m, width 10m and length 20m, Find its height? Solution: h = ?, w = 10m, l = 20m Volume of rectangle = l h w 400 = 20 h 10 h = 400200 h = 2m
