Please help me solve this equation : Find the area of each rectangle with the given base and height, 240cm, 5cm note
I changed your problem from 5 m to 5 cm. If this is incorrect, follow the steps below and substitute 5m = 500 cm. In other words, substitute 5 for 500.

Step 1. Area = base times height or A=bh where b= 240 and h=5.

Step 2. Area is calculated as

A=5%2A240

A=1200+cm%5E2

Step 3. Area is 1200 square centimeters.

I hope the above steps were helpful.

Good luck in your studies!

Respectfully,

Area of rectangle = Base x Height

Since base = 240 cm, and height = 5 m, we need to convert to same measure, so in this case, we'll convert 240 cm to meters. This equals 2.4 meters.

Since area = Base x Height, then area = 2.4 * 5 = highlight_green%2812m%5E2%29
