Question

The measured dimensions of a rectangle are 7m by 4m to the nearest whole unit. Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum area = Minimum area = 28 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and the width of the rectangle are measured to be 7 m and 4 m respectively to the nearest whole number.

We have to find the maximum and minimum possible areas of the rectangle.

The maximum or minimum area is calculated only when length or width or both can vary and then only for a certain value of length and width the area becomes maximum or minimum.  

So, the maximum and minimum area of the rectangle will be the same i.e. (7 × 4) = 28 m². (Answer)
