Area of Rectangle: Calculating with x=1.0 & x=1.5

In summary, the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is length x width, where the length of one side is multiplied by the length of the other side. When x=1.0 or x=1.5, these values can be substituted into the formula to demonstrate how the calculation works. However, any value for x can be used as long as it represents the length of one side of the rectangle.

I know that the height is not 2 somewhere around 1.9 or 1.85 which is the f()
It is x = 1.0 and x = 1.5
and the strip of the shaded is 0.5 unit wide

Somehow i can get the asnwerView attachment 6312

It appears the base $b$ of the rectangle is 0.5 units, while the height is:

\(\displaystyle h=f(1.5)=4-1.5^2=1.75\)

Thus, the area $A$ (in units squared) is:

\(\displaystyle A=0.5\cdot1.75=0.875\)

ahaha the height does not seem to be 1.5 ahaha..thank you :D
 

1. What is the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle?

The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is length x width. In other words, you multiply the length of one side by the length of the other side.

2. How do I calculate the area of a rectangle when x=1.0?

When x=1.0, the area of the rectangle would be 1.0 multiplied by the width of the rectangle. So if the width is 5, the area would be 5.

3. How do I calculate the area of a rectangle when x=1.5?

When x=1.5, the area of the rectangle would be 1.5 multiplied by the width of the rectangle. So if the width is 5, the area would be 7.5.

4. Why is x=1.0 or x=1.5 used in the calculation of rectangle area?

X=1.0 and x=1.5 are commonly used as examples of values for the length of one side of the rectangle. These values can be easily substituted into the formula to demonstrate how the calculation works.

5. Can I use any other value for x in the area of rectangle calculation?

Yes, you can use any value for x as long as it represents the length of one side of the rectangle. The formula remains the same, so you can substitute any value for x into the formula to calculate the area of the rectangle.
