5. a. Given that the line segment shown is 1 unit long, use the grid to lightly shade a rectangle that is to units by lo units. 1 unit b. Apply the length times width formula to find the area of the shaded rectangle in part (a) and verify that the formula gives you the correct area for your rectangle. Attend carefully to units of area. c. Show and describe the 10- and 10-unit lengths on your rectangle, keeping in mind that length is a one-dimentional attribute. Explain why it would be confusing to say that the small squares represent these lengths.
