The formula is: Area = w × h w = width h = height The width is 5, and the height is 3, so we know w = 5 and h = 3: Area = 5 × 3 = 15 |
Definitions:
Similarities & Differences: In both Product Rule and in Area there is an unknown variable to be solved for. In product rule there is a (Y) to be solved for and in Area there is a (A) to solve for. In Area there is only one unknown unknown variable and that is what you are solving for (A) and in Product Rule there are two unknown variables, which include (Y) and (X). |
Explanation: When dealing with the area of a shape you will simply multiply the length by the width. When dealing with the product rule you will need to multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.

Real-world ExampleA real world example for area may be when building a house and wanting to know how much wood you need to buy for one room and having to calculate the area of the room to see how much wood you will need to buy.

A real world example of the product rule would be when you're taking a math test and the question asks you to find the answer to the following question :
What does 4 to the power of 2 * 6 to the power of 3 equal ??? ( btw. the answer is 24 to the power of 5) |
