• A. A rectangle of length 4 cm and breadth 3cm.
• B. Triangle with base 3 cm and height 8cm
• C. A rectangle of length 6 cm and breadth 2cm.
• D. Square of 3 cm side.

Answer 1

From the given options,
Area of a rectangle of length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm = 4 $\times$ 3 = 12 $c{m}^2$
Area of a rectangle of length 6 cm and breadth 2 cm = 6 $\times$ 2 = 12 $c{m}^2$
Area of a square of 3 cm side. = 3 $\times$ 3 = 9 $c{m}^2$
Area of a triangle with base 3 cm and height 8cm = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 4 $\times$ 3 = 12 $c{m}^2$
