Find the area of the rectangle two different ways.
Big Ideas Math Solutions Grade 3 Chapter 6 Relate Area to Multiplication 6.4 1

Structure
How does the area of the large rectangle compare to the areas of the smaller rectangles? What property does this show?

Answer:
The area of larger rectangle is divided in two smaller rectangles so the sum of the areas of smaller rectangles will be equal to area of larger rectangle.

Think and Grow: Area and the Distributive Property

You can use the Distributive Property to find the area of a rectangle. First, break apart the large rectangle into smaller rectangles. Then find the sum of the areas of the smaller rectangles.

So, the area is _____.

Show and Grow

The area  of  large rectangle=sum of area of smaller rectangles
In the above grid there are 6 rows and 9 columns in the larger rectangle and this rectangle is divided into two smaller rectangles with 5 and 4 columns each.

Therefore
6×9=6×(5+4)
6×9=(6×5)+(6×4)
6×9=30+24
6×9=54
So, the area is 54 square inches.

Question 1.
Use the Distributive Property to find the area of the rectangle.
Big Ideas Math Solutions Grade 3 Chapter 6 Relate Area to Multiplication 6.4 4

Answer:
In the above rectangle there are 4 rows and 5 columns. This is divided  into smaller rectangles with 3 and 2 columns each.
Therefore
4×5=4×(3+2)
4×5=(4×3)+(4×2)
4×5=12+8
4×5=20
Area=20 square centimeters.

Question 2.
Big Ideas Math Solutions Grade 3 Chapter 6 Relate Area to Multiplication 6.4 5

Answer:
There are 6 columns in the above large rectangle so the columns of  smaller rectangles are 4 and
2 columns each.
Therefore
7×6=7×(4+2)
7×6=(7×4)+(7×2)
7×6=28+14
7×6=42
Area=42 square meters.

Question 3.
Big Ideas Math Solutions Grade 3 Chapter 6 Relate Area to Multiplication 6.4 6

Answer:
Here we divide the rectangle using rows.
There are 3 rows in the above rectangle. so, the rows of the smaller rectangles are 2 and 1 each.
3×4=(2+1)×4
3×4=(2×4)+(1×4)
3×4=8+4
3×4=12
Area=12 square feet

Question 4.

Which equation represents the area of the rectangle?
Big Ideas Math Solutions Grade 3 Chapter 6 Relate Area to Multiplication 6.4 7
5 × 7 = 5 × (6 + 1) = (5 × 6) + (5 × 1)
5 × 8 = 5 × (6 + 2) = (5 × 6) + (5 × 2)
5 × 7 = 5 × (2 + 5) = (5 × 2) + (5 × 5)

Answer:
Form the above grid we can understand that the large rectangle has 7 columns is divided into two smaller rectangles with 2 and 5 columns each. Therefore the 3rd equation represents the area of the rectangle.

Question 1.
The map shows the top view of an obstacle course.
a. What is the area of the net?
b. What is the area of the hopscotch track?
Big Ideas Math Answers 3rd Grade Chapter 6 Relate Area to Multiplication 53
c. The area of the mud pit under the monkey bars is 10 square feet. What is the missing side length of the mud pit?
d. Each stepping-stone in the sandbox covers 1 square foot. What not is the area of the sandbox not covered with stones?
e. What is the area of just the grass?
Answer:

a.

Area of net=length ×width =3×2=6 square feet
Therefore area of net =6 square feet

b.

To find area of hopscotch track we have to find length of the track.
Total length of obstacle course is 10 ft
Length below the hopscotch= total length-length of sand box and net ie 10-4+3=3
Length above the hopscotch is 2 ft
Therefore Length of hopscotch =total length- length above and below the track=10-(2+3)=5ft
So, area of hopscotch course =5ft×1ft=5 square feet.

c.

Area of mud pit under the monkeys bars is 10 square feet.
Length of monkeys bars is 5ft
Length of the other side of monkeys bars is total area divided by length
Width of other side=10÷5=2
Therefore length of other side of mud pit is 2 feet.

d.

The total area of sand box is
8×2=16 square feet + 2×2=4 square feet
Area=20 square feet
As given in the question each sandbox covers 1 square foot of area.
As there are 7 sandboxes area of sandboxes is 7 square feet.
Therefore area of sandbox not covered with stones is 20-7 = 13 square feet.

e.

The area of just grass is the total area subtracted with area of all courses .
Total area=10×10= 100 square feet.
Area of net=6 square feet, Area of hopscotch =5 square feet, Area of monkeys bar=10 square feet, Area of sandbox = 20 square feet
Area of just grass= 100‐(6+5+10+20)=100‐41
Therefore area of just grass=59 square feet.

Question 2.
The obstacle course opens at 1 o’clock. It is half past 12. How many more minutes until the course opens?

Answer:
1 hour = 60 minutes, Half past 12 indicates 12:30
As Obstacle course opens at 1 o’ clock so, There are 30 more minutes until the course open.
