C. 294 cm2
Since the dimensions of rectangle A are three times the dimensions of rectangle B, if we let the dimensions of rectangle B be x and y, the dimensions of rectangle A would be 3x and 3y.
Given that the area of rectangle A is 882 cm2, we can set up the equation:
3x * 3y = 882
9xy = 882
xy = 882/9
xy = 98
Therefore, the area of rectangle B is 98 cm2.
