Find the area of the large rectangle. Use the distributive property to help. Each small square has an area of 1 square unit.
The area is ____ square units.

Answer

Solution: The large rectangle is composed of two smaller rectangles. The first rectangle has dimensions 5 units by 3 units, and the second rectangle has dimensions 2 units by 3 units.

  1. Area of the first rectangle: 5 x 3 = 15 square units.
  2. Area of the second rectangle: 2 x 3 = 6 square units.

Using the distributive property, the total area is: 15 + 6 = 21 square units.

The area is 21 square units.
