Question

2.
Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km.

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

For a rectangle measuring 6 km by 11 km, the area can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Area} = 6 \, \text{km} \times 11 \, \text{km} = 66 \, \text{km}^2
\]

Since the dimensions of the rectangle are fixed at 6 km and 11 km, the area will also be fixed. Therefore, both the minimum and maximum possible areas of this rectangle are:

\[
\text{Minimum Area} = 66 \, \text{km}^2
\]
\[
\text{Maximum Area} = 66 \, \text{km}^2
\]

Thus, the area of the rectangle is 66 km², with no variability in the values.
