A rectangle has one side (a) of 7 in and the other side (b) of 3/4 in (0,75 in). The area of the rectangle is:
[tex]A = a \times b = 7in \times 0.75 in = 5.25 in^{2}[/tex]
The square has a side length (l) of 2 1/2 in (2,5 in). The area of the square is:
[tex]A = l^{2} = (2,5in)^{2} = 6.25 in^{2}[/tex]
