Real-Life Application:

The distributive property is used in everyday situations, like:

• Shopping discounts: If you have a discount on multiple items, you can apply the discount to each item separately, then add the results together.

• Area of a rectangle: When you break a rectangle into smaller parts, the distributive property helps calculate the total area more easily.

Example:

Area=(l+w)×h

Here, you can distribute the height across both the length and width to calculate the area.
