Kyra is using rectangular tiles of two types for a floor design. A tile of each type is shown below: Two rectangular tiles, rect
angle PQRS with vertices at P 5, 7. Q is at 9, 7. R is at 9, 12. S is at 5, 12 . Rectangle JKLM with vertices J 4, 5. K is at 6, 5. L is at 6, 10. M is at 4, 10. Which statement is correct?
1 answer:
Since there is no picture shown, I just plotted the given data points myself. That is shown in the attached picture. The blue rectangle is rectangle PQRS while the orange one is rectangle JKLM. I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure.
The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.
tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²
Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².
