Which has the greater area: a 6-centimeter by 4.12-centimeter rectangle or a square with a side that measures 5 centimeters?

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of a rectangle can be written as;

Area A = length * breadth

Given;

Length = 6 cm

Breadth = 4.12 cm

Substituting the values;

Area of rectangle = 6cm * 4.12cm = 24.72 cm^2

For the square;

Area of a square = length * length

Given;

Length = 5 cm

Substituting the values;

Area of the square = 5cm * 5cm = 25 cm^2

Since 25 cm^2 is greater than 24.72 cm^2

The square has a greater area.
