Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The half-open rectangle [0,12)×[0,3) has width 12 and height 3, both nonnegative. Find its area in squared length units.

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthonormal Euclidean Cartesian frame. The half-open rectangle [0,12)×[0,3) has width 12 and height 3, both nonnegative. Find its area in squared length units.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

orthonormal equal-length coordinate units;half-open regions

After

area in squared length units

Conditions: none

Axes are orthogonal with equal length units;half-open boundaries make adjacent unit cells disjoint.Area uses squared units,not length units.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: half_open_area_convention · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

rectangle area := mul(12, 3)

After

rectangle area = 36

Conditions: none

Multiply nonnegative width by height;adding the side lengths does not give area.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

w=12; h=3

After

area=36; empty=No

Conditions: none

A zero side is an allowed empty region;this is not a perimeter calculation.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: rectangle_area_boundary · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute rectangle area with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

36

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
