Question

Which has the greater area: a 6 ‐centimeter by 4 1 2 ‐centimeter rectangle or a square with a side that measures 5 centimeters? How much more area does that figure have? The has the greater area. Its area is square centimeters greater.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rectangle has the greater area

Is area is $2\ cm^{2}$ greater

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=(6)*(4\frac{1}{2})=(6)*(\frac{9}{2})=27\ cm^{2}$

The area of the square is equal to

$A=5^{2}=25\ cm^{2}$

therefore

The rectangle has the greater area

Find the difference

$27\ cm^{2}-25\ cm^{2}=2\ cm^{2}$

Is area is $2\ cm^{2}$ greater
