Answer:
Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard by 90 square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Terry's yard dimensions:
Length,l = 18 meters
Width,w = 15 meters
Area of Terry's yard =
[tex]A = l\times w\\A = 18\times 15\\A=270\text{ square meters}[/tex]
Todd's yard dimensions:
Length,l = 20 meters
Width,w = 9 meters
Area of Todd's yard =
[tex]A = l\times w\\A = 20\times 9\\A=180\text{ square meters}[/tex]
Thus, Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard.
Difference in area of yards
= Terry's yard area - Todd's yard area
[tex]=270-180\\=90\text{ squarde meters}[/tex]
Thus, Terry's yard is greater than Todd's yard by 90 square meters.
