Solution

Length of first playground = 120 m
Breadth of first playground = 52 m
Area of first playground = length × breadth
= 120 m × 52 m
= 6240 m²

Length of second playground = 110 m
Breadth of second playground = 62 m
Area of second playground = length × breadth
= 110 m × 62 m
= 6820 m²
6820 > 6240
So, the playground that is 110 m long and 62 m wide is bigger.
