How many smaller rectangles are there in an area model that represents 27 x 83?
Why?
What are their dimensions?
Answer (2)
There is an infinite number of any smaller figures inside of any figure. It's because we can always divide it "one more time", and then again and again and again...
An area model for 27 x 83 consists of four smaller rectangles created by breaking down the dimensions. The rectangles have dimensions: 20 x 80, 20 x 3, 7 x 80, and 7 x 3. Thus, there are four smaller rectangles in total.
