Two rectangles are drawn with chalk. The first rectangle has a length of 1.5 m and a width of 0.75 m. the second rectangle has a length of 1.75 m and a width of 0.5 m. What is the difference between the area of the rectangles? (1 point)
The area of the first rectangle is 1.5 m * 0.75 m = 1.125 square meters.
The area of the second rectangle is 1.75 m * 0.5 m = 0.875 square meters.
The difference in area between the two rectangles is 1.125 square meters - 0.875 square meters = 0.25 square meters.
Therefore, the difference between the area of the two rectangles is 0.25 square meters.
