Use a checking method for this problem: final-answer check: a rectangular tile has length 26 cm and width 24 cm. Find its area. State the final answer and verify it against the information in the question.
Answer
A valid checked answer is 624 cm^2. The method is: Area measures the square units inside the rectangle. Use the rectangle area method with length and width. The length is 26 cm. The width is 24 cm. Multiply 26 by 24. 624 cm^2 The final line agrees with the canonical answer.
