Question 3

The length and the 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

The area is the region enclosed inside the closed figure.

Area of rectangle = length$\times$breadth = 9 m$\times$6 m = 54 $m^2$.

Area of rectangle = length$\times$breadth = 3 m$\times$17 m = 51 $m^2$.

Area of rectangle = length$\times$breadth = 4 m$\times$14 m = 56 $m^2$.

Thus, the rectangle (c) has largest area, and rectangle (b) has smallest area.
