How many smaller rectangles are there in an area model that represents \(27 \times 83\)? Why? What are their dimensions?

There's an infinite number of any smaller figures in any figure. It's because whatever we do, we can always fit another number of figures inside the figures we just created.

In an area model for 27 × 83 , there are 4 smaller rectangles formed by breaking down the numbers into their place values. The dimensions of these rectangles are 20 by 80, 20 by 3, 7 by 80, and 7 by 3. This helps visualize multiplication as the sum of smaller areas.
