Answer:

The difference in areas is:

992 square inches - 864 square inches = 128 square inches

Explanation:

The area of the first window is:

31 inches × 32 inches = 992 square inches

The area of the second window is:

27 inches × 32 inches = 864 square inches

The difference in areas is:

992 square inches - 864 square inches = 128 square inches

Therefore, the difference in areas of the two windows is 128 square inches.
