To determine the area of a rectangle, you use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \][/tex]
Given:
- Length = 17 centimeters (cm)
- Width = 7 centimeters (cm)
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Substitute the given values into the formula.
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 17 \, \text{cm} \times 7 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]
2. Multiply the length by the width.
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 119 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is:
[tex]\[ 119 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]
The correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 119 \, \text{cm}^2 \][/tex]
