Short answer

The area of the rectangle is $B)16squaremeters$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Area of the rectangle.

The area of the rectangle is $L\times W$, where $L$is the length of the rectangle and $W$is the width.

Step 2. Put the value of length and width into the formula.

From the given figure the length and width of the rectangle is $8mand2m$respectively.

Put $L=8andW=2$into the area of rectangle formula.

$Area=8\times 2$

Step 3. Multiply the numbers.

$Area=16squaremeters$

Hence, the correct option is $B)16squaremeters$.
