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 m and 6 m
(b) 17 m and 3 m
(c) 4 m and 14 m
(a) We know that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
It is given in the question that,
Length of rectangle = 9 m
Breadth of rectangle = 6 m
Therefore,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 9 × 6
= 54 m2
(b) We know that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
It is given in the question that,
Length of rectangle = 17 m
Breadth of rectangle = 3 m
Therefore,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 17 × 3
= 51 m2
(c) We know that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
It is given in the question that,
Length of rectangle = 4 m
Breadth of rectangle = 14 m
Therefore,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 4 × 14
= 56 m2
Therefore, from above three results it is clear rectangle (c) has the largest area i.e. 56m2 while rectangle (b) has the smallest area i.e.51 m2
