Question

Terry rectangular yard is 15 meters by 18 meters Todd's rectangular yard is 20 meters by 9 meters how much greater is the area of terry's yard than Todd's yard?

Answer 1

Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard by 90 square meters.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Terry's yard dimensions:

Length,l = 18 meters

Width,w = 15 meters

Area of Terry's yard =

`A = l* w\\A = 18* 15\\A=270\text{ square meters}`

Todd's yard dimensions:

Length,l = 20 meters

Width,w = 9 meters

Area of Todd's yard =

`A = l* w\\A = 20* 9\\A=180\text{ square meters}`

Thus, Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard.

Difference in area of yards

= Terry's yard area - Todd's yard area

`=270-180\\=90\text{ squarde meters}`

Thus, Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard by 90 square meters.
