Cute Geometry – Area of a Rectangle

Hi, folks! Last week we let our bunny tell us about the area of a triangle.

This Monday we are going to learn a few interesting facts about rectangles.

Rectangles come in the shape of four edges with four right angles (360 ° / 4 = 90°).

Did you know that rectangles have long been considered as a perfect shape for any construction, especially for the religious building. It was the foundation of classical Greek temples and many of the Renaissance buildings.

Rectangles are called the safest and the most correct shape among of all geometric shapes. Because of this they are used in everyday life everywhere in homes, rooms, beds, tables, windows, doors, paintings, books, and many pieces of furniture.

Now, how to compute the area of this cute bunny-shaped rectangle?

Just use following formula:

S = ab

Where:

S — is the area of the rectangle;
a — is the length of a short side of the rectangle;
b — is the length of a long side of the rectangle.
