This math topic focuses on calculating the area of rectangles across various problems. Students practice determining how many square tiles of specified dimensions a rectangle covers. Dimensions for these squares include 1 foot by 1 foot, 1 inch by 1 inch, and 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer. Problems are provided in a multiple-choice format with several possible answers, testing the students' understanding of the concepts of length, width, unit conversions, and basic area calculations spanning different measurement units (feet, inches, kilometers).
