Rectangle Area

In order to understand the formula for the rectangle area, we have to explore the following structure. (ps.: this structure was modified from the one made by Jayrton Carvalho)

Analysis 1

Move the n = 0 bar and watch as the rectangle is filled. How many squares can fit in the rectangle? Type your answer below.

Analysis 3

If you were to change the base (B) to 4 and the height (H) to 6, how many squares do you think the rectangle will hold. Explain your reasoning.

Analysis 4

What is the connection between the number of little squares (n) that fit in the rectangle with the height (H) and the base (B) of the rectangle?

Analysis 5

In theory, the number of small squares that fit in the rectangle can be considered the area of the rectangle. Which equation represents the area of a rectangle of base B and height H?
