I

Concept Anchor

Angles are measured in degrees (°). Acute is less than 90°, obtuse is between 90° and 180°, reflex is more than 180°. The area of a rectangle is length × width, in square units.

Worked example

Area of a rectangle 7 cm by 4 cm.

  1. 1.It is 4 rows of 7 squares.
  2. 2.7 × 4 = 28.
  3. 3.Area = 28 cm².
