Question

Ryan measures a rectangle that is 9 feet long and 5 feet wide. Teo measures a rectangle that has an area of 36 square feet. Which rectangle has the greater area/ explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Teo's rectangle has the greater area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a rectangle has the same opposite sides of parallel sides, you need to add or multiply 9 times 9 or 9 + 9 and 5 times 5 or 5 + 5. 9 x 9 or 9 + 9 equals 18, and 5 + 5 or 5 x 5 equals 10. Then, 18 and 10 is to be added. 18 + 10 is 28. So, that means Teo's rectangle has the greater area because, 28 is less than 36.
