Answer:
The square with side 5 centimeters have a greater area.
Corrected question;
Which has the greater area: a 6‐centimeter by 4.12‐centimeter rectangle or a square with a side that measures 5 centimeters?
Explanation:
The Area of a rectangle can be written as;
Area A = length × breadth
Given;
Length = 6 cm
Breadth = 4.12 cm
Substituting the values;
Area of rectangle = 6cm × 4.12cm = 24.72 cm^2
For the square;
Area of a square = length × length
Given;
Length = 5 cm
Substituting the values;
Area of the square = 5cm × 5cm = 25 cm^2
Since 25 cm^2 is greater than 24.72 cm^2
The square has a greater area.
