Question

Given a square of side 10 m and a rectangle of length 11m and breadth 9 m. Which one has more area?

• A. Square
• B. Rectangle
• C. Both have the same area
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Square

Area of square of side A is A${}^2$

Area of given square = (10) $\times$ (10)

= 100 m${}^2$

Area of a rectangle whose length and breadth are A m and B m respectively, is A $\times$ B.

Area of given rectangle = (11) $\times$ (9)

= 99 m${}^2$

Square has greater area as compared to the given rectangle.
