Question

Are rectangle or garden has a length of 10.25 feet and a width of 6.2 feet. Another rectangle or garden has a length of 20.5 feet and a width of 12.4 feet. How many times greater is the area of the large garden than the area of the smaller garden?

Answer 1

Hello!

The formula for finding area of a rectangle is length × width

1st garden
l = 10.25
w = 6.2

6.2 × 10.25 = 63.55

Area = 63.55 ft²

2nd garden

l = 20.5
w = 12.4

20.5 × 12.4 = 254.2

Area = 254.2 ft²

Divide the bigger area by the smaller area

254.2 ÷ 63.55 = 4

$\framebox {4 times greater}$
