The area of the actual farm is 600 square meters. What's the area of the corral? Start by completing the expression with the length and width, then find the area.

Question

An overhead picture of a farm, with outer dimensions labeled 20 m by 30 m. Within the farm are a barn, garden, and corral, which is labeled with dimensions 6 m by 10 m.
Area of the corral =
meters •
meters =
square meters

Answer 1

To find the area of the corral, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

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

Given the dimensions of the corral are 6 m by 10 m, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area of the corral} = 6 \text{ meters} \times 10 \text{ meters} \]

Now, let's calculate it:

\[ \text{Area of the corral} = 60 \text{ square meters} \]

So, to summarize:

Area of the corral = 6 meters • 10 meters = 60 square meters.
