Question

Whose area is greater - a square of side $3cm$ or a rectangle of length $4cm$ and breadth $3cm$?

Answer 1

Step 1:To calculate area of square

Area of square$={\left(side\right)}^2$

Area of square$=3^2=9c{m}^2$.

Step 2:To calculate area of rectangle

Area of rectangle$=length\times breadth$

Area of rectangle$=4\times 3=12c{m}^2$

Hence, rectangle having area $12c{m}^2$ is greater than square having area $9c{m}^2$.
