What is the area of a concrete pad that is 16 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 inches thick?

To find the area of the concrete pad, you need to consider its dimensions in terms of length and width, as these are used to calculate area. The pad is given as 16 feet long and 8 feet wide. The thickness, while important for knowing the volume and weight of concrete, does not affect the area calculation.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

Area = Length × Width.

Substituting the given dimensions:

Area = 16 feet × 8 feet = 128 square feet.

It seems there is an error in the interpretation of the dimensions regarding the area versus volume. The area calculation is directly concerned with just the length and width. Therefore, the correct area of the concrete pad is 128 square feet, indicating that the fixed choices were mistakenly represented in the selected answer.
