A = tu
A = tu

A = t + u
A = t + u

A = 2(t + u)
A = 2(t + u)

y = mx + b
y = mx + b

A = x + y + z
A = x + y + z

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle using the equation \( A = tu \), we simply need to substitute the values of \( t \) and \( u \) into the equation. Here is how to do it step by step:

1. **Identify the formula for the area of a rectangle**: \( A = tu \), where \( t \) is the length and \( u \) is the width.

2. **Substitute the given values**:
- Let \( t = 17 \)
- Let \( u = 11 \)

3. **Plug the values into the equation**:
\[
A = 17 \times 11
\]

4. **Calculate**:
\[
A = 187
\]

5. **Conclusion**: The area of the rectangle when \( t = 17 \) and \( u = 11 \) is \( A = 187 \) square units.
