Calculate the areas of the given rectangles using standard metric units
Home / 4th grade / Measurements / Calculate & measure / Calculate area: rectangles
To calculate the area of a rectangle, you multiply its width by its height. In this topic, the measurements are given in centimeters (cm) or meters and answers will be in square centimeters or square meter. Here's how to do it:
Identify the width and height of the rectangle: For this calculation, you need to know the width (or base) and height (or altitude) of the rectangle. These measurements are given in centimeters (cm) or meters in this topic but they can be in any unit of length.
Let's say you have a rectangle with a width of 6.7 cm and a height of 4.3 cm.
To calculate the area of the rectangle, multiply its width by its height. This will give you the area in square centimeters (cm²).
In our example, the width is 6.7 cm, and the height is 4.3 cm. So, to find the area:
Area = Width × Height
Area = 6.7 cm × 4.3 cm
Area = 28.81 cm²
So, the area of a rectangle with a width of 6.7 cm and a height of 4.3 cm is 28.81 square centimeters (28.81 cm²).
This topic asks you to calculate the area of rectangles given their width and height. Your answers should be in square centimeters (cm²) or in square meter (m²).
