Question

Terry rectangular yard is 15 meters by 18 meters Todd's rectangular yard is 20 meters by 9 meters how much greater is the area of terry's yard than Todd's yard?

Answer 1

Answer:

Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard by 90 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Terry's yard dimensions:

Length,l = 18 meters

Width,w = 15 meters

Area of Terry's yard =

$A = l\times w\\A = 18\times 15\\A=270\text{ square meters}$

Todd's yard dimensions:

Length,l = 20 meters

Width,w = 9 meters

Area of Todd's yard =

$A = l\times w\\A = 20\times 9\\A=180\text{ square meters}$

Thus, Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard.

Difference in area of yards

= Terry's yard area - Todd's yard area

$=270-180\\=90\text{ squarde meters}$

Thus, Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard by 90 square meters.
