The length and breadth of three rectangles are as given below :

Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?

(a) 9 m and 6 m

(b) 17 m and 3 m

(c) 4 m and 14 m

(a) We know that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

It is given in the question that,

Length of rectangle = 9 m

Breadth of rectangle = 6 m

Therefore,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 9 × 6

= 54 m²

(b) We know that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

It is given in the question that,

Length of rectangle = 17 m

Breadth of rectangle = 3 m

Therefore,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 17 × 3

= 51 m²

(c) We know that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

It is given in the question that,

Length of rectangle = 4 m

Breadth of rectangle = 14 m

Therefore,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 4 × 14

= 56 m²

Therefore, from above three results it is clear rectangle (c) has the largest area i.e. 56m² while rectangle (b) has the smallest area i.e.51 m²
