Answer 1

Answer:

a square is larger in area

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle is 13*9=117 while area of square is 12*12=144.

Answer 2

Answer:

Consider the rectangle.

area of rectangle= length*breadth

given,, length= 13m

            breadth=9m

            area= 13*9

                       =117m square

Consider the square.

area of square (where a is one side)=a^2

=12^2

=144m square

Therefore, the square is bigger in area
