Question

The difference between the width and length of the rectangle is 12 .​

Answer 1

First of all, the area A of a rectangle can be expressed as the product of its length l times its width w, i.e.,

A = lw

Now, substituting the given values for l and w into the right side of the above formula, we get:

A = (12 m)(16 m)

A = 192 m² for the area of the given rectangle of length l = 12 m and width w = 16 m.

Now, to find the area of one-half of the given rectangle, we can simply multiply area A by 1/2 as follows:

(1/2)A = (1/2)(192 m²)

(1/2)A = 96 m²
