GCSE Maths Practice: perimeter-and-area

Question 6 of 10

Rectangle area formula practice question.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which formula gives the area of a rectangle?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \) \( \text{Area} = \text{length} + \text{width} \) \( \text{Area} = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) \) \( \text{Area} = \text{width}^2 \)

Multiply length and width. Verify units.

Area of a rectangle is always length multiplied by width. Addition or doubling does not give correct area. Always check units. This formula is used in many real-life applications like flooring or painting walls. Practice with different lengths and widths.
