1. **State the problem:** Find the area of rectangles given their length and width. 2. **Formula:** The area $A$ of a rectangle is given by $$A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$ This means you multiply the length by the width to get the area. 3. **Calculate each area:** - For 2) width = 4 yd, length = 7 yd: $$A = 7 \times 4 = 28 \text{ yd}^2$$ - For 3) width = 9 in, length = 12 in: $$A = 12 \times 9 = 108 \text{ in}^2$$ - For 4) length = 16 ft, width = 11 ft: $$A = 16 \times 11 = 176 \text{ ft}^2$$ - For 5) length = 6 yd, width = 3 yd: $$A = 6 \times 3 = 18 \text{ yd}^2$$ - For 6) length = 8 in, width = 14 in: $$A = 8 \times 14 = 112 \text{ in}^2$$ - For 7) length = 2 ft, width = 5 ft: $$A = 2 \times 5 = 10 \text{ ft}^2$$ - For 8) length = 18 yd, width = 10 yd: $$A = 18 \times 10 = 180 \text{ yd}^2$$ - For 9) length = 4 in, width = 3 in: $$A = 4 \times 3 = 12 \text{ in}^2$$ **Summary:** Multiply length by width for each rectangle to find the area.
