Question

which statement about the figures is true? figure 1 figure 2 a. they both have the same area b. they both have the same width c. they both have the same length d. they both have the same perimeter

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of Figure 1

Area of a rectangle is $A = l\times w$. For Figure 1 with length $l = 15$ and width $w = 4$, $A_1=15\times4 = 60$.

Step2: Calculate area of Figure 2

For Figure 2 with length $l = 20$ and width $w = 3$, $A_2=20\times3=60$.

Step3: Analyze other properties

Lengths are different ($15
eq20$), widths are different ($4
eq3$). Perimeter of Figure 1 is $P_1=2(15 + 4)=38$, perimeter of Figure 2 is $P_2=2(20 + 3)=46$, perimeters are different.

Answer:

A. They both have the same area
