Question
Sam and clary have a garden. Sam built a fence around her garden that was 5 feet wide and 11feet long. Clary built a fence for his garden that was 13 feet wide and 4 feet long. Whose garden has the greatest area?
- They are both equal
- Sam
- Clary
- Sam garden is 5 square feet more than Clary
Hint:
The area is the region bounded by the shape of an object.
The correct answer is: Sam
Here, we have to select where garden has the greatest area.
Area of Sam's garden = 5 x 11 = 55 square feet.
Area of Clary's garden = 13x 4 = 52 square feet.
Clearly, Sam garden area > Clary garden area.
Hence, the correct option is (a) Sam.
Sam's garden = 55 square feet and Clary's garden area = 52 . We can subtract 52 into 55 , than we get 3 square feet. It means Sam's garden is 3 square feet more than Clary's garden in area.
