Question

tara and jody bedrooms are shaped like rectangle.tara bedroom is 9 feet long and 8 gwide,jody bedroom is 7 feet long and 10 feet wide,whose bedroom has the greater area? explain

Answer 1

Tara's bedroom has greater area.
Area of rectangle=length*breadth(width)
Tara's bedroom has 9 feet long and 8 feet  wide = 9*8=72,while,
Jody's bedroom has 7 feet long and 10 feet wide= 7*10=70

Answer 2

Tara’s Bedroom is $\bold{2 f t^{2}}$ more than Area of Teddy’s bedroom.

Area formula for rectangle is, $A=(l \times b)$

For finding that whose area is greater between Tara and Jody,

The length of Tara bedroom is = 9 feet

The width of Tara bedroom is = 8 feet  

The area of Tara bedroom is $=(9 \times 8)$

                                                 $=72 f t^{2}$

The length of Jody bedroom is = 7 feet

The width of Jody bedroom is = 10 feet  

The area of Jody bedroom is $=(7 \times 10)$

                                                 $=70 f t^{2}$

Therefore, by comparing both the bedroom areas of Tara and Jody are, the Area of Tara’s Bedroom is $\bold{2 f t^{2}}$ more than Area of Teddy’s bedroom.
