How do I find the area of a reactant angle not drawn to scale? Eg. 21.9m by 15.4m, please can someone explain? Thanks

rectangle? length times width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21.9 x 15.4 = 337.26

So what's about other shapes? Is it area LXW?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area of a rectangle os the length times the width. yes L x W or lw
