Q 3. The length and breadth of three rectangles are as given below :
(a) 9 m and 6 m (b) 17 m and 3 m (c) 4 m and 14 m
Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?
We know that area of a rectangle = length breadth
Therefore,
(a) Here length is 9m and the breadth of the rectangle is 6m
So, the area of the rectangle
=
(b) Here length is 17 m and the breadth of the rectangle is 3m
So, the area of the rectangle
=
(c) Here length is 4m and the breadth of the rectangle is 14m
So, the area of the rectangle
=
Hence rectangle C has the greatest area and rectangle B has the least area.
