Wesley covered this figure with the unit square shown to find the area.
A rectangle and square are shown. The square is labeled 1 square unit. The length of the rectangle is approximately 6 times as long as a side of the square, and the width of the rectangle is approximately 3 times as long as a side of the square.
Which figure shows how he covered the square and the correct area?
A.
An array of squares has 1 row and 2 columns. The entire array has the same size and shape as the rectangle in the problem statement.
B.
An array of squares has 2 rows and 4 columns. The entire array has the same size and shape as the rectangle in the problem statement.
C.
An array of squares has 3 rows and 6 columns. The entire array has the same size and shape as the rectangle in the problem statement.
D.
An array of squares has 4 rows and 8 columns. The entire array has the same size and shape as the rectangle in the problem statement.

Kurt found the area of this shape is 18 square units. If he used a larger unit square, would his measurement be greater than 18 square units or less than 18 square units? Explain.
An array of squares has 3 rows and 6 columns. A square below the array that is the same size as the squares in the array is labeled 1 square unit.
A.
Less than 18 square units; if the unit square is larger, then fewer of them are needed to cover the shape.
B.
Less than 18 square units; if the unit square is smaller, then fewer of them are needed to cover the shape.
C.
Greater than 18 square units; if the unit square is smaller, then more of them are needed to cover the shape.
D.
Greater than 18 square units; if the unit square is larger, then more of them are needed to cover the shape.
