Question

The formula for the area A of a rectangle with a length of 5 inches is A = 5w, where w is the
width in inches. Make a table showing the area of the rectangles with a 5-inch length and a
width of 2, 4, 6, and 8 inches. What would be the ordered pairs on the table.

Answer 1

Answer:

Width 2 4 6 8

Area 10 20 30 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Calculate width when length = 5 inches

When length = 5 inches and width = 2 inches

Area of a rectangle = length × width

A = 5 × 2

= 10 square inches

When length = 5 inches and width = 4 inches

Area of a rectangle = length × width

A = 5 × 4

= 20 square inches

When length = 5 inches and width = 6 inches

Area of a rectangle = length × width

A = 5 × 6

= 30 square inches

When length = 5 inches and width = 8 inches

Area of a rectangle = length × width

A = 5 × 8

= 40 square inches

Given the same length and different width

Width 2 4 6 8

Area 10 20 30 40
