The rectangle shown is composed of smaller equally-sized squares. The shaded section has an area of 3/16 square inches. Use a unit rate to determine the area of the larger rectangle.

Area of larger rectangle = 1½ = 1.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The section consists of 3 small squares that has an area = .

Area of 3 small squares =

Area of 1 small square = ÷ 3

=

=

The larger rectangle has 24 small squares of equal sizes

Area of larger rectangle = area of 1 small square * 24

=

Area of larger rectangle = 1½ = 1.5 in²

step-by-step explanation:

at each of the parallel lines adjacent angles are supplementary. the angles have special names identifying their positions with respect to the parallel lines and transversal. they are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles. an angles is congruent to its matched angle.
