## Competency in Focus: 2D Geometry (Area of Rectangle)

This problem from American Mathematics contest (AMC 8, 2019) is based on calculation of area of  Rectangle .

## Next understand the problem

Three identical rectangles are put together to form rectangle $ABCD$, as shown in the figure below. Given that the length of the shorter side of each of the smaller rectangles is 5 feet, what is the area in square feet of rectangle $ABCD$?

Do you really need a hint? Try it first!
The length of the smaller side of each rectangle is given 5 feet. So using the diagram we can find  that the larger side of the small rectangle is 2 times the length of the smaller side.
So find the longer side which is 5*2 = 10 feet.
the area of the identical rectangles is 5*10 = 50 square feet
Thus at end we have 3 identical rectangles formed a bigger rectangle……Try to solve …   50*3 = 150 square feet
