What is the area of a rectangle that measures 4 cm by 16 cm?

64 cm²
32 cm²
48 cm²
20 cm²

The correct answer is: 64 cm²

To determine the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the rectangle has a length of 16 cm and a width of 4 cm. The formula for calculating the area is straightforward: Area = Length × Width Substituting in the given values: Area = 16 cm × 4 cm = 64 cm² This calculation shows that the area of the rectangle is indeed 64 cm². Understanding this principle not only helps in solving similar problems but also reinforces the basic mathematical concepts necessary in carpentry and construction, where accurate measurements are essential.
