Question
Find the equation that represents the total area of the rectangle

- 7 x (5 + 8)
- 5 x (7 + 8)
- 5 x (7 + 8)
- 7 x (5 +3)
Hint:
We are given a rectangle. It is divided into two parts. Each part is made up of smaller squares. We have to find the area.
The correct answer is: 7 x (5 +3)
The rectangles are made up of small squares.
Each square represents 1 unit.
So, the length of the rectangle will be number of vertical squares.
Length = 8
Similarly, width will be number of horizontal squares.
Width = 7
When the rectangle is divided into two parts, length is divided.
The width of the parts is same.
Length = 5 + 3
Area of a rectangle = length × width
= (5 + 3) × 7
= 7 × (5 + 3)
This is the required area.
When rectangle is divided into smaller parts, area gets divided. The area of the total shape will be sum of the area of the parts.
