To find the area of each rectangle, you multiply the length by the width.
For the first rectangle:
Area = 3.2 in * 2.25 in = 7.2 square inches
For the second rectangle:
Area = 2.75 in * 1.2 in = 3.3 square inches
The difference in area between the two rectangles is:
7.2 square inches - 3.3 square inches = 3.9 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is:
3.9 inches
