Question

The Length and breadth of three rectangles are as given below: Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?​

• A. $9\text{m and}6\text{m}$​
• B. $17\text{m and}3\text{m}$​
• C. $4\text{m and}14\text{m}$​

Answer 1

The correct option is B $17\text{m and}3\text{m}$​

1. Length $=9\text{m and breadth}=6\text{m}$.​

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth.​

$=9\text{m}\times 6\text{m}$ ​
$=54{\text{m}}^2$. ​
Hence, area of the rectangle is $54{\text{m}}^2$. ​

2. Length $=17\text{m and breadth}=3\text{m}$.​

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth. ​

Area of rectangle $=17\text{m}\times 3\text{m}$ ​

$=51{\text{m}}^2$.​

Hence, the area of rectangle is $51{\text{m}}^2$.​

3. Length $=4\text{m and breadth}=14\text{m}$.​

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth.​

Area of rectangle $=4\text{m}\times 14\text{m}$. ​

$=56{\text{m}}^2$.​

Hence, the area of rectangle is $56{\text{m}}^2$.​
Its can be seen that rectangle (c) has the largest area and rectangle (b) has the smallest area.
