I\u2019d like you to **draw what you\u0027re thinking**. \n\n1. Draw a rectangle with a width of 5 units and a height of 3 units.\n2. Label the sides with the correct dimensions.\n3. Calculate the area using the formula we discussed.\n\n### Example Problem for Practice\n\n**Sam cuts grass at $0.10 per square meter. Calculate how much he earns cutting a rectangular area of 20m x 20m and a triangular area with a base of 20m and height of 14m.**\n\n1. **Draw the Rectangle and Triangle** using bar models.\n2. **Calculate each area** using the formulas:\n - Rectangle Area = \\( 20m \u00d7 20m = 400m\u00b2 \\)\n - Triangle Area = \\( \u00bd \u00d7 20m \u00d7 14m = 140m\u00b2 \\)\n3. **Total Area** = \\( 400m\u00b2 + 140m\u00b2 = 540m\u00b2 \\)\n4. **Earnings Calculation**: \\( $0.10 \u00d7 540m\u00b2 = $54 \\)\n\n### Conclusion\n\nBy using visuals and concrete examples, you\u2019ve learned how to find the area of different shapes and apply them in real-life situations. Keep practicing with your drawings to understand these concepts even better!",
