QUESTION:

Two rectangular rugs are on display in a showroom. If one rug istwice as long as the other, does this necessarily mean that its area isalso twice as large as that of the second? Explain.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Let's examine two rugs. The first rug has dimensions l1 (length) and w1 (width), while the second carpet has dimensions l2 and w2. We know that the area of a rectangle is given by its length multiplied by its width. So, the areas of these carpets can be represented as A1=l1\times w1 and A2=l2\times w2.
