Worked Example

Master Builder says:

Master Builder draws a rectangle 4 squares wide and 3 squares tall on the blueprint. What is the area?

  1. Count across: 4 squares wide.
  2. Count down: 3 squares tall.
  3. Count all the squares: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 (or 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12).
  4. Area = 12 square units.

Answer: 12 square units
