• B. greater than
• C. less than

Answer 1

The correct option is A equal to

Area of square = side $\times$ side
Hence, area of square of side $6cm$ = $6cm\times 6cm$= $36c{m}^2$.

Area of rectangle = length $\times$ breadth
Hence, area of rectangle of length $9cm$ and breadth $4cm$ = $9cm\times 4cm$ = $36c{m}^2$.

Therefore, area of a square of side 6 cm is equal to the area of a rectangle of length 9 cm and breadth 4 cm.
