Question

Which statement correctly compares the areas of these two rectangles?

A. The area of the blue rectangle is less than the area of the yellow rectangle.
B. The area of the blue rectangle is greater than the area of the yellow rectangle.
C. The area of the blue rectangle is equal to the area of the yellow rectangle.
D. You cannot compare the areas of these two rectangles.

Answer 1

A because the area of yellow is 48 and the area of blue is 40

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

You can multiply the dimensions of each rectangle to get the area of them.

blue would be 10x4 so the area is 40. The yellow would be 6x8 so the area is 48. Therefore the area of the blue rectangle is less than the yellow! :)
