Question

Aye friends. I'm still doing my younger brothers homework.

Here we go.

There are two large pieces of construction paper. The red piece has an area of 90in 2, while the blue piece is 12 inches long by 9 inches wide. Which paper is larger?

Help your slow sister out. I also have a headache and the 4th grade was not my year, and I would not like to think about it. Thanks friends.

Answer 1

Area is equal to length*width so doing the math 12*9= 108, so the blue paper has an area of 108in^2 while the red paper has an area of 90in^2 meaning that the blue piece of paper is the larger one.
