Question

Nathan is building a toolshed with a rectangular floor. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula / - w, where I represents the length,

and w represents the width. The floor of the shed will have measurements of either / = 9 and w = 5 or 1 = 7 and w=7. What is the area
of the larger floor?
49
O
35
63
45

Answer 1

45

Explanation:

if l=9 , w is 5

then area is 9*5=45

if l=7 , w is 7

then area is 7*7=49

49 is greater than 45

but it is not a rectangle. It is a square.

Therefore the correct answer is 45.
