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