The length and breadth of the three rectangles are as given below:
(a) 9 m and 6 m
(b) 17 m and 3 m
(c) 4 m and 14 m
Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?

Solution:

We will be using the area of rectangle formula to calculate the areas of the three rectangles given.

(a) Length(l) = 9 m and Breadth(b) = 6 m

Area of rectangle = l × b

= 9 × 6

= 54 m²

(b) Length(l) = 17 m and Breadth(b) = 3 m

Area of rectangle = l × b

= 17 × 3

= 51 m²

(c) Length(l) = 4 m and Breadth(b) = 14 m

Area of rectangle = l × b

= 4 × 14

= 56 m²

Therefore, the area of the rectangle with the dimensions 4m and 14m having an area of 56 m² that is (c) has the largest area whereas, the area of the rectangle with dimensions 17m and 3m having an area of 51 m² that is (b) has the smallest area.
