Nathan has a rectangular plot of grass in his backyard that has dimensions of meters in width and meters in length.

What is the total area of the plot of grass? Recall that the area of a rectangle is the width multiplied by the length.

square meters

square meter

use the area of a rectangle to calculate for the total area of the rectangular grass plot

area = length * width

Step-by-step explanation:

The grass plot in Nathan's backyard has a rectangular shape. The dimensions of the sides are in meters. The width and the length are in metres. Since the grass plot is rectangular, the area of the plot can be computed using the formula for area of a rectangle.

Area of a rectangle = L * W

where

L = length

W = width

The area of a rectangle is the width multiplied by the length. For example if the width of the grass plot is 100 meters and the length is 200 meters. The area of the grass rectangular plot will be

area = L * W

area = 200 * 100

area = 20000 m²

The unit of the area will be in square meters (m²)
