One of the sides of the rectangle is equal to 3 whole 1/5 meters
One of the sides of the rectangle is equal to 3 whole 1/5 meters and the other is one whole one fourth times larger. Calculate the area of the rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of the rectangle by the value of the width. To answer the question of the problem, you need to know the size of the other side of the rectangle. From the condition of the problem, the value of one side of the rectangle is known, and it is also known how many times the other side is larger.
1) 3 1/5 * 1 1/4 = 16/5 * 5/4 = 16 * 5/5 * 4 = 4 * 1/1 * 1 = 4/1 = 4 meters.
2) Let’s calculate what is the area of the rectangle.
3 1/5 * 4 = 16/5 * 4 = 16 * 4/5 = 64/5 = 12 4/5 = 12.8 m ^ 2.
Answer: The area of the rectangle is 12.8 square meters.
