To find the area of a rectangle, you use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]
In this case, the rectangle measurements are 6 km and 11 km. Therefore, the area is calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Area} = 6 , \text{km} \times 11 , \text{km} = 66 , \text{km}^2 \]
Since this is a fixed rectangle with specified dimensions of 6 km by 11 km, the area does not vary. Therefore, both the minimum and maximum possible areas of this rectangle are the same:
- Minimum Area: \( 66 , \text{km}^2 \)
- Maximum Area: \( 66 , \text{km}^2 \)
Thus, the minimum and maximum possible areas of the rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km are both \( 66 , \text{km}^2 \).
