two rectangles are drawn with calk the first rectangle has a length of 1.5 meters and a width of 0.75 the second rectangle has a length of 1.75 meters and width of 0.5 meters what is the diffrence between the area and the rectangles?

1 answer

To find the difference in the area of the two rectangles, we first need to calculate the area of each rectangle.

For the first rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 1.5m x 0.75m
Area = 1.125 square meters

For the second rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 1.75m x 0.5m
Area = 0.875 square meters

Now, we can find the difference in the area of the two rectangles:
Difference = Area of first rectangle - Area of second rectangle
Difference = 1.125 square meters - 0.875 square meters
Difference = 0.25 square meters

Therefore, the difference in the area of the two rectangles is 0.25 square meters.
