Question

The length and 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

It is known that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

(a) l = 9 m

b = 6 m

Area = l × b = 9 × 6 = 54 m²

(b) l = 17 m

b = 3 m

Area = l × b = 17 × 3 = 51 m²

(c) l = 4 m

b = 14 m

Area = l × b = 4 × 14 = 56 m²

It can be seen that rectangle (c) has the largest area and rectangle (b) has the smallest area.
