Asked by Jenny

The area of a rectangle may be determined by using the formula A = lw, where "A" stands for area, "l" stands for the length of the rectangle, and "w" stands for the width of the rectangle. If the length of the rectangle is 3 cm and the width of the rectangle is 5 cm, what is the area?

Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. 15 square centimeters is correct. Always multiply the length times the width to get the area.
A = lw
