To find the area of the first rectangle, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = length x width
Area = 4.5 inches x 2.55 inches
Area = 11.475 square inches
To find the area of the second rectangle, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = length x width
Area = 2.65 inches x 3.1 inches
Area = 8.215 square inches
The difference in area between the two rectangles is:
11.475 square inches - 8.215 square inches = 3.26 square inches
Therefore, the difference in area between the two rectangles is 3.26 square inches.
