What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 meters and a width of 3 meters?

  1. 15 square meters

  2. 8 square meters

  3. 10 square meters

  4. 20 square meters

The correct answer is: 15 square meters

To determine the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the rectangle has a length of 5 meters and a width of 3 meters. Calculating the area involves: Area = Length × Width Substituting the given values: Area = 5 meters × 3 meters = 15 square meters This shows that the area of the rectangle is indeed 15 square meters, making the correct choice the first one. The other options do not reflect the correct calculation of multiplying the length and width together, leading to incorrect area measurements.
