What is the area of a rectangle that is 8 inches wide and 12 inches long?

Solution:

The area can be defined as the amount of space covered by a flat surface of a particular shape.

It is measured in terms of the "number of" square units (square centimeters, square inches, square feet, etc.)

The area of a rectangle is the number of unit squares that can fit into a rectangle. 

Given, width of rectangle = 8 inches

Length of rectangle = 12 inches

We have to find the area of a rectangle.

Area of rectangle = length × width

Area = 12 × 8

= 96 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 96 square inches.

What is the area of a rectangle that is 8 inches wide and 12 inches long?

Summary:

The area of a rectangle that is 8 inches wide and 12 inches long is 96 square inches.
