Question

The length and the breadth of three rectangles are as given below: 

(a) 9 m and 6 m (b) 17 m and 3 m (c) 4 m and 14 m Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?

Answer 1

(a) Area of rectangle = length x breadth = 9 m x 6 m = 54 m² 

(b) Area of rectangle = length x breadth= 3 m x 17 m = 51 m² 

(c) Area of rectangle = length x breadth= 4 m x 14 m = 56 m² 

Thus, the rectangle (c) has largest area, i.e. 56 m² and rectangle (b) has smallest area, i.e., 56 m²
