What is the area of rectangle?

The area of the rectangle is the product of the length and breadth of the rectangle. It can be calculated as under:

Area=length * breadth

How to calculate the area of rectangle?

The width of the bigger rectangle is 15 cm.

The smaller rectangle has length of 5 cm and width is 3 cm.

If we see that width reduces to 1/5 of the bigger rectangle so if we want to calculate the length then we have multiply the length of the smaller rectangle with 5.

The length of the bigger rectangle=5*5

=25 cm

The area will be =15*25=375 $cm^{2}$.

Hence the area of the original rectangle will be 375 $cm^{2}$.
