Question

Nicholas wants to buy the rug that has the bigger area. Should he buy the 5 x 7 one or the 4 x 10 one? (What is the formula to find area of a rectangle or square?)

Answer 1

He should buy the 4 x 10 rug because it has the larger area.

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle or square, you multiply length by width (A=l x w). 5x7=35 and 4x10=40, so 4 x 10 has the bigger area.
