Find the area of the rectangle shown in the grid. Type your answers in the box provided.

A rectangle is draw on a grid. The length of the rectangle is 6. The width of the rectangle is 7, but it’s divided into segments labeled 4 and 3. A vertical line is drawn through the rectangle, dividing it into a 6 by 4 rectangle and a 6 by 3 rectangle.

To find the area of the rectangle, we need to multiply its length by width. Since the width of the rectangle is divided into segments 4 and 3, we can treat it as two separate rectangles.

The area of the 6 by 4 rectangle is 6 x 4 = 24 square units.

The area of the 6 by 3 rectangle is 6 x 3 = 18 square units.

To find the total area of the rectangle, we add the areas of the two smaller rectangles:

24 + 18 = 42 square units.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 42 square units.
