2-6 Regulation Sizes
LESSON
LESSON
Write a multiplication equation for the area of each regulation
field or court. Then solve the equations to find the missing
measurements. Remember: Area ! length • width, or A ! l • w.
You can use tiles to help you solve
multiplication equations.
variable
Division undoes multiplication,
so you can use division to solve
multiplication equations.
