Answer:
A. The area of the bottom of the round pan is greater than the area of the bottom of the rectangular pan by about 8.5 square inches
Explanation:
Area of Circle Pan: A = 3.14 * r^2
(3.14 will be used for Pi)
A = 3.14 * 5^2
A = 3.14 * 25
A = 78.5
Area of Rectangle Pan: A = l * w
A = 10 * 7
A = 70
Difference of the Areas (to compare them)
78.5 - 70 = 8.5
A. The area of the bottom of the round pan is greater than the area of the bottom of the rectangular pan by about 8.5 square inches
