What is the total area in square meters if a rectangle measures 12 meters by 5 meters?

  1. 60 square meters

  2. 70 square meters

  3. 50 square meters

  4. 80 square meters

The correct answer is: 60 square meters

To find the total area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the rectangle measures 12 meters in length and 5 meters in width. The calculation for the area would be: Area = Length × Width Area = 12 meters × 5 meters Area = 60 square meters Thus, the total area of the rectangle is 60 square meters. This makes the first choice correct, as it precisely matches the calculation derived from the measurements given in the problem. Understanding the formula for the area of a rectangle enables you to apply it to various similar problems effectively.
