Which measurement is the closest approximation of the rectangle’s area? a. 15 m² b. 30 m² c. 40 m² d. 50 m²

6m x 8.5m ≈ 6 x 9 ≈ 54 ≈ 50m² (Answer D)

Hello!

The formula for area of a rectangle is:

A = l × w

We must multiply the length by the with to find the area. Substitute:

A = 8.5 × 6

A = 51

Now, 51 isn't in the given answer options, but that's because the question asks for the closest APPROXIMATION of the area.

ANSWER:

D. 51 m^2 is the closest approximation of the area.

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer
