Question

7.) Minh says that the rectangle on the left and figure 11.12 is larger than the one on the right, Sequoia says the rectangle on the right is larger than one on the left. Explain why Minh and Sequoia can both be right.

Answer 1

Rectangle of the left

L=5 units

W=5 units

If you says that the rectangle of the right has

L=3 units

W=8 units

then the rectangle of the left is larger than the rectangle of the right

but

if you says that the rectangle of the right has

L=8 units

W=3 units

then

the rectangle of the right is larger than the rectangle of the left
