Review Key Content Concepts:

To find area& ultiply two ad#acent side lengths of a rectangle. To a,e a rectangle with a given area& a shortcut is to re e ber different fact fa ilies. <or exa ple& =x4>)4 so a rectangle with area )4 could have side lengths = and 4. To find the area of a larger rectangle split into two ad#acent rectangles& si ply add the areas of each s aller rectangle.
