Question

compare the areas of a square 15 cm on each side and a rectangle 17 m by 8m. Which figure has a greater area and how much

Answer 1

Answer:

area of square of side 15cm =

$15 \times 15 = 225cm^{2}$

area of rectangle of length 17m and breadth 8 m =

$17 \times 8 = 136m^{2} \\ = 1360000cm^{2}$

since, 225cm²<1360000cm²

thus, rectangular figure has greater area by 1,359,775cm²
