How to find the area of a box
. The length is ten meters more than the width. What is the area of the rectangle?

Correct answer:

Which of the following information would not be sufficient to find the area of a rectangle?

Possible Answers:

All of the other choices list information that would be sufficient.

The lengths of one pair of adjacent sides.

The perimeter and the length of one side.

The lengths of one side and a diagonal.

The lengths of one pair of opposite sides.

Correct answer:

The lengths of one pair of opposite sides.

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the lengths of two adjacent sides. All of the choices given lists sufficient information, with one exception. We examine each of the choices.

The lengths of one pair of adjacent sides: This choice is false, as is directly stated above.

The perimeter and the length of one side: Using the perimeter formula, you can find the length of an adjacent side, making this choice false.

The lengths of one side and a diagonal: using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can find the length of an adjacent side, making this choice false.

The lengths of one pair of opposite sides: this gives you no way of knowing the lengths of the adjacent sides. This is the correct choice.

How to find the area of a box

Find the area of the polygon.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Drawing a vertical line at the end of the side of length  divides the shape into a rectangle and a right triangle.

How to find the area of a box

The sum of the areas of the two shapes is the area of the polygon. Multiply the length of the rectangle by its width to find the area of the rectangle, and use the formula , where  is the base and  is the height of the triangle, to find the area of the triangle. Adding them together gives the answer.

One side of a rectangle is 7 inches and another is 9 inches.  What is the area of the rectangle in inches?

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its width by its height. If we know two sides of the rectangle that are different lengths, then we have both the height and the width.

What is the area of the rectangle in the diagram?

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by the width.

The length is 12 cm and the width is 7 cm.

Therefore the area is 84 cm2.

How do I calculate the area of a box?

A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces. To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.

What is the formula of box?

You can calculate the volume of a box by multiplying length x width x height. Using the example of the single wall box this will be 102 x 102 x 102 which equals 1,061,208 cubic millimeters (㎣). In metric units volume is usually expressed in millimetres and litres.
