Question

Anna's rectangle has an area of 16 square centimeters and Niko's rectangle has an area of 16 square inches. Anna says,"hey, our rectangles have the same area!" Do you agree with Anna? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Anna:

Area= 16 cm^2

Niko:

Area = 16 in^2

As we already know, 1 in^2 is equal to 6.45 cm^2, so 16in^2 is equal to 16*6.45=103.2 cm^2.

Then, the Niko's rectangle is bigger than Anna's rectangle.
