Six rectangles each with a common base width of 2 have lengths of 1,4,9,16,25, and 36. What is the sum of the areas of the six rectangles?

Sagot :

Area = Width x Length
Common Width of overlapping 6 rectangles: 2 units

Equation:
Sum of the areas = 2 units [ (1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36) units]
                             = 2 units ( 91 units)
                             = 182 sq. units 
                             
Simple ☺ The width and the length was already given. We just have to find it's area and add them all.

A = width × length
A = 2 ( 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36)
A = 2 (91)
A = 182 units²

Therefore, the sum of the areas of the six rectangles mentioned is 182 units²
