If a rectangle has a length of 8 units and a width of 3 units, what is the area?

  1. 24 square units

  2. 11 square units

  3. 13 square units

  4. 30 square units

The correct answer is: 24 square units

To find the area of a rectangle, you use the formula: Area = Length × Width. In this case, the rectangle's length is given as 8 units, and its width is given as 3 units. By applying the formula: Area = 8 units × 3 units = 24 square units. Thus, the area of the rectangle is 24 square units, which corresponds to the answer indicating that option A is correct. This calculation is straightforward as it involves multiplying the dimensions of the rectangle directly without any additional complexity.
