of the area of this rectangle is filled in.

The formula to find area is .

We are given the length and the width from the problem, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve.

*Area is the number of square units inside a shape, which is why area is always written with square units.

To find the area of the figure above, we need to slip the figure into two rectangles.

Using our area formula, , we can solve for the area of both of our rectangles

To find our final answer, we need to add the areas together.

Area is the amount of space within the perimeter of a two-dimensional shape. The rectangle is split into pieces and of those pieces is filled in.

of the area of this rectangle is filled in.

of the area of this rectangle is filled in.

A square can be called a parallelogram because a parallelogram has to have two sets of parallel sides, and a square has two lets of parallel sides.

A pentagon cannot be classified as a quadrilateral because a pentagon has sides, and a quadrilateral is a -sided figure.

A rectangle cannot because called a square because a square has to have equal sides and a rectangle does not have equal sides, it has sets of equal sides.

The rectangle is split up into equal parts. of the parts are shaded blue, which means of the rectangle is blue.
